I was picking up a customer from work in the shuttle van once when I was in automotive repair. The car next to us his a really big 6 point buck on the highway. I dropped off customer and ran back with one of the mechanics from the shop and we pulled that deer out of the median and went back to work. I insisted that he call local pd and get a tag filled, we worked on all the cop cars at our shop so there wouldn’t be any problems. Nope he called fish and game, which took three goddamn days to get out to tag the deer. They also tried accusing him of poaching and were sniffing around his property. Needless to say the animal went to waste after hanging for three days without being field dressed and then he had to dispose of the carcass. Moral of the story is: listen to Marty and you’ll have venison in the freezer. Such a waste of a beautiful animal. Two years later I pulled up to a couple vehicles on the side of the road, fresh deer with a broken back still alive, driver said he didn’t want it, local pd came out and put one in the deers head, helped me load it up and issued a tag. I learned how to butcher a deer that fall in my buddies garage. Probably never gonna pay a butcher again. Not because I’m cheap, not because I can do it myself, nope because my gypsy girlfriend put an anti hunting curse on my ass that fall and it’s been six seasons (starting #7) since my last deer was harvested.Reminds me of this time a couple years ago. I was driving up US 24 through the mountains and a deer jumped over the concrete divider wall, directly in front of my car travelling at about 60mph. I had no warning or even time to react it just suddenly "appeared"
Well long story short, in that brief millisecond, I watched the deer go right > while it's rear right leg went left <I didn't stop or even turn around to look at what was left, but damn if I didn't 'splode that deer all over the highway
Oh and remarkably, it didn't even leave a mark on my car. Just a small tuft of fur stuck in the headlight housing![]()
