Deer

Very hard Togo to work in the morning, but have save a couple days off for holidays. Can't wait to get back out there and try my rifle this week. Nice deer, I'd be happy with any. Good organic meat.

Well, I messed up. We were on our way home from dinner at the Granite Steak House in Rochester, and as we were coming up to the flashing light in New Durham, a deer came out in front of us. I had just passed a car and put up my high beams, and saw the deer. This is where I screwed up. Instead of sitting on a tree stand for hours at a time, hoping to shoot a deer with a 30-30 bullet moving at 2300 feet per second per second, I could have picked off the deer with a 2010 Corolla doing 40 MPH, but I guess I was smart and hit the brakes. We were both able to live to see another day.

It was a little close, not laying down rubber skidding to a stop close, but close. Nice spike buck.

Maxum. nice deer.

Sounds like that deer was just toying with you. If the deer truly have a death wish you don't get a chance to hit the brake. BTDT.....

The same thing happened to me a couple of years ago In that same spot. coming back from Johnsons steak house In the dark, I think the state should fence that paticular area of the highway as It seems that Its a constant problem

A lot of deer get hit by cars west of Crown Point on U.S. 231. There are too many cars to have the deer crossing here. The deer crossing sign needs to be moved to a road with less traffic.
