Superdog Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Sure wish you deer hunters would lobby for year round hunting until these 4 legged bastards were extinct.My once perfect hood and bumper on my RD. Coulda been alot worse I know,but still pisses me off.Ever seen deer fur stuck in the bead of a tire? Knocked off 2 lugnut covers and bent another.SOB even shit on my "new used" aluminum battery box lid.

other dog Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I should take up hunting again, I see more and more deer all the time. Going up 79 in W.V. right before dark they're all over the place- and, they're delicious! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

gearhead204 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Mike if you apply a little brake you still hit them, just wont knock the shit out of em.!!!!!! got lucky last year the superliner sent one to dear heaven,...but I hit it square on and sent it flying...I think the extended bumper helped me not receive any damage. sorry about the truck, that sucks!

thomastractorsvc Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Are you able to keep them once you hit them in Iowa?

Maddog13407 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ive actually seen deer fur in a tire bead. I agree on year around hunting, hell they let the amish hunt year around here in Ny and there is still deer everywhere. been listening to the scanner this week and there have been more car vs deer accidents this year than ever before. think ive hit a deer with just about every vehicle ive ever driven Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37825-deer-season/#findComment-267773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Nailed 5 in 3 hits in a big truck between 9/2012 and 10/2013. Unfortunately there's no limit on how many will choose to commit venicide at your expense.

other dog Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 H.H.Moore ordered a bunch of "deer whistles" to put on all the trucks one time. It was just a little plastic thing that stuck on the bumper. They worked too, I hit more deer while I had the thing on there than I ever did before, or since. Most of the deer I see along the road don't even move when you go by, but those whistles sure made them take off at a high rate of speed. Only trouble was they were just as likely to run out in front of you as run anywhere else. I pulled my deer whistle off and threw it away. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

farmer52 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Heard the "deer whistles" have been pulled off the market - DON'T work! I think people sued the company and they went out of business. Tests proved the noise they produce (or don't produce) cannot be heard above the vehicle/engine noise.

I've seen literally a hundred or more between Morgantown and Charleston this time of year.

vision386 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Been really fortunate not to have hit a live one,but ran over an already dead one (hit by the truck in front of me) did $2600.00 damage to the bumper/hood pissed me off as well,could have avoided the damn thing,but had nowhere to go! damn things are everywhere now a days,i really wish you hunters would tighten up and keep them off the road!...............................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate.
