You're welcome!

Believe it or not, but I asked my new employer the very same question during my training.

It's too bad that that information is not circulated in some way to the general public.

That's interesting about the seat belts, I've always been curious.

I would assume that a buck got that big because he was wise in the ways of cars and such..... but it's "girl season" - and hunting season. They don't always think straight this time of year.....

Sure am glad you saw him coming!!!

LOL, Mark!

Deb -- right now we're in the heat of the rut (no pun intended!) LOL So yes, they're running without thinking, making this the most dangerous time of year for them AND us. Bow season has been open for a while, but gun season doesn't start until around Thanksgiving.

What you got in that coffee Julie!

Tuesday night I was on my way home from bow hunting and came upon 2 cars sitting on the side of the highway with their flashers on. It was around 6:15 pm and in that area it only meant one thing.... So I stopped. Yep, car #1 had a yearling buck run into the driver's side of his car. The kid said the deer's head was actually in his car and almost kissed him! Driver's mirror and window; gone....

But while we were standing there, the deer lifted up his head! It did this a couple times, and I''m sure it was pretty stunned and had one heck of a headache.. So, I kneeled down next to him and started rubbing his head and neck and he just lifted his head and looked at me! I did this for about 10 minutes or so and the deer tried to get up, so I grabbed under his side and got him up to his feet. He just stood there leaning against my legs, not real sure which way go. We had to keep him from running back onto the highway with all the traffic coming. We got him to walk down into the ditch, where he laid back down (on his knees and not his side) and just looked at us.

Unfortunately I had to take off, so I'm not sure if the little fellar made it or not. The driver that got hit was on the phone with the county sherriff's office when I left. It was quite the experience....

THE RUT IS ON!

Bucks loose their mind during the rut.

I'm glad everything turned out all right.
