Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

Cost at least 1 buck.

Very much suck to hit them. I swear they wait for people just to run out

Did he at least gut it and take it home? We're allowed to do that here

Here, we are NOT allowed to do that. You have to call the troopers, and then THEY start calling the people on the road kill list... the first one to answer the phone gets to run out and grab the moose. (Here only a very few places have deer.... so it is mostly moose kills. )

Actually... if you DO live where there are deer... you are probably allowed to take the deer home. Hummm... dunno... no deer where I am

It was only a few years ago the law went into effect here. Have to call it into fish and game and let them know.

There are exceptions for the few counties where sitka deer are. No taking roadkill there. They are afraid there would be poaching.

We have blacktail and elk

i've seen the results of vehicle and moose collisions... not pretty at all. we don't have moose in this area.

I wonder what type of deer we have down here. "Eat all the vegetation in site" type, for sure.

@Hinotori : we got 0.9" of rain between midnight and 5:30 a.m. I had to take hubs for a colonoscopy at 6 a.m., and boy was it hard to drive at that hour, with pouring rain and standing water.

Was a cold 24* out there this morn. About 2" of snow. None of it was inviting for me. . We've just gotten to 31* and it's way after lunch. early winter. Boooo

Brrrrrr! Nope - too cold!

We were 38 at wake-up and we're up to 64. Very pleasant if you're in the sun, but because of a strong breeze it's a little chilly in the shade. However - compared to a lot of the country - I'll take it!

How did you get Sitka deer?

How did you get Sitka deer?

I was told it was for sitka by a friend of hubby. Looks like they were very wrong. I went and looked it up. Rule restriction is for the Columbia whitetail which are protected.

Im more used to mule deer from the east side of the state or the blacktails that annoy us here.

Mom had a large buck run in front of her the other day (it came out of a corn field that hasn't been harvested yet), she said had she been going faster she would have hit it. it was getting towards the end of the day, but also there is still some hunting going on which causes more deer to move.

there's reasons i don't like to drive at night around here and also why i don't speed on our road - but like i said before i've also had deer run right into the side of the car too when i was going quite slow (i'd just come around the 90 degree turn by the park/forest). i didn't see it and somehow it got enough speed to run into the car hard enough to knock itself down but it also got back up and ran away. it also managed to damage most of the side of the car and also the hood...

i'm sure it also didn't help that the car is about the same color as snow... "Oh look Muffy, let's go run through this snow drift!"... *bonk* Surprise!
