In the fall the bucks are thinking about mating so they get stupid. A lot more deer get hit in the fall.

Not to mention that the whitetail population has exploded in the last 50 years.

In early October I was driving on I-80 in the great state of Nevada between Elko and Wells, and there was a dead bull elk in the road that a car had hit. NHP and a big truck were there as well, so it happened not long before I went by.

I haven't hit any wildlife in the last 6 years (knock on wood).

 

I don't think I have seen any more dead dear during the last year as any other time, but it seems that there have been more over the last several years. I hit a dear about 5 or 6 years ago. The state has released coyote's near to me to help lower the deer population. They have also raised the maximum number of deer you can kill during the season in my area as well as other areas this year to help reduce the population.

 

Driving through Wisconsin, it seems like I see a dead deer every 1/4 to a 1/2 mile in that state. Worst place I've seen for dead ones.

I've had 3 close calls so far, 1 in Wisconsin, 1 in Michigan and the last one was with a moose in Ontario. The moose was the one that scared me the most! Damn thing was nearly looking me eye to eye when I stopped!! They are BIG animals!!

 

You didn't see TOO many deer when you ran through my area that one night did ya? :P

 

Geez don't remind me Yoopr!!! At least all them deer were still alive and not splattered all over the road! :P

 

Rifle deer season opened up today, November 27th in Pennsylvania (and many other states) which means a lot of deer running for their lives and hiding out during the day roaming at night so watch out!

 

For the deer, or the hunters?

 

:lol: :lol:

Shoot,the deer roam around as it is,whether it's deer season,or not. :shock: :P

 

You know the Warning Deer signs, I was going from Austin to Colorado a few years ago, around Childress, first time I saw a Warning Hog sign. Makes sense, some of those suckers can push 500 lbs.

 

good ole Childress-Hit the Biggest Ice storm I've EVER hit there-I was empty but by the time I hit the Truck stop there I had many inches of ice on my tractor and trailer.
