Very true.

You own it 😂 I had a deer the day before Thanksgiving several years ago run into the side of my SUV, the sheriff’s department showed up and asked me if I would like them to load it up in my car since it was now mine. I looked at them like they were crazy and offered it back to them and two officers jumped on it😂

In Maine, a few years back, a deer ran into my car. I pulled off the road immediately. Called the police and when the officer showed up, he asked me if I wanted the deer. I said no and he called a friend to harvest the meat.

In Texas, you can sue the state and get funds. But it’s a long process.

Deer are a huge problem with highway deaths of people and animal, people hurt, time and cost spent fixing cars. Why doesn’t the govt (game wardens, hunters) tranquilize the bucks, castrate them, and let them go? Problem greatly reduced. The lefty white women will love it, castrating the males.

Thanks for this. Now some bureaucrat out there is reading this post thinking..."wait, we could charge them if they hit a deer?"

Be surprised who pays the feed bill but we can't eat them without legal permission.Bambi whipping Ags ass.

That is how governments operate: they exploit land and resources to plunder the people while shirking their own responsibilities. In many places, citizens are even forced to repair sidewalks on public property. youtube.com/watch?v=Ax66y-Y7…

i've heard in some places your not allowed to keep the deer if ti's dead or unrecoverable. i'd be keeping mine as fair compensation for the damage to my vehicle. last one that jumped out in front of me only got hit in the face and broke my headlight. it lived and ran away. too bad. i had an empty smoker, but my insurance doesn't cover acts of venison. 😅

Sounds like my ex-wife... Anything we did that was a sucess, was her idea. Everything else was my fault.

My son hit a deer in Virginia two hillbilly types stopped asked if they could have it my son said yes they handed him a beer

Don't poach the king's deer!

It sucks when this happens. Lucky it’s only happened to me once. I was going so slow negotiating at night during a thunderstorm that nothing happened to the deer. I had some minor body damage that was easily fixed. Moose are worse. In many states you can harvest the good meat. Because of hunters working with conservation efforts for habitat, seasons, tags, limits there are deer to hunt and unfortunately sometimes hit. In the early 1900’s there were only around 100,000 elk. Now there are 1.1 million or more. Same success with whitetail, mule deer, water fowl, turkeys. So many successes because hunters, fishermen and sporting firearm owners pay additional taxes on gear, licenses, tags, habitat stamps that fund state agencies efforts for species and habitat management. So be thankful there are seasons, limits, licenses so we can all enjoy many wildlife species.

EVERY time I see one THIS comes to mind.... youtube.com/watch?v=dN7Uy17Z… Luckily, haven't hit one so far....

And they refer deer crossing to the busiest part of the hiway. So stupid.

some states own the rain when you collect it JAIL but when it causes a mud slide? nope, nothin to do with us

I hit a deer... been there/done that. Cost me a pretty penny.... gave the deer to some Najavo that came driving by. Went to a good cause. Colorado/New Mex border.

The "king's deer" can do no wrong.

😬😭

They own nothing if i do it with my bare hands. The know better with me, but not with my innocent teenage son.

Same with MOOSE! one totaled my neighbor's car recently!

Never thought about that but it is so true!

Soooo true 🤣🤛

Yup then its OUR problem

My nephew hits a few each year...I have been trying for over 40 years and have yet to bag one with my vehicle

And they put Deer Crossing signs along ROADS! How stupid! Put deer crossings somewhere else, like in fields or woods. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey, hang on a dang second... If my family is hungry we'll eat.

Either the make roads safe or I'm eating what I hit and insurance better cover it

Yeah. Nice young buck though

Lol i might make that a bumper sticker for up here in the mountains 😂

Oh yeah, I know I’ve hit twice. Mine was brand new truck.

Hmmm… lets see if my insurance co can sue my state for damages… i like it

Kind of like in England the mail belongs to the king but if you ship something illegal he doesn’t get busted for possession

No, here the government still owns it, which is why you quickly shove it in the bed of your pickup and cover it with a blanket. At least you'll get some deer sausage out of the incident when your insurance company totals your vehicle, even though it's still driveable.

Well in WV we do use them for food. Actually I’m not supposed to say it, but with poverty here the deer kinda lose. I’ve actually hit one called police, some house nearby hears the crash and goes to hunt it down
