Went an picked up live sand from Mike last night. (140 lbs in 40 gal rubber maid tote with water not lid) He made joke about the only thing he was worried about was a deer running in front of him while he was driving. So I put this tote in the back of my Ford Escape and start the hour drive back to whitewater. Well you guessed it I HIT A DEER (didn't kill it but I managed to cover myself in stinky live sand water) So after I checked to see how much damage to my car (not much dent in bumber) I continue my drive home. Well than a coyote ran out in front of me. Didn't hit but had to slam on brakes again and again got covered with stinky salt water again. When I got home my girlfriend laughed at me (I was trenched and cold)

Well its better than having sa ice chest full of slimey water and flounders bust in a full sized chevy blazer. Years back a friend and I were scuba diving and had run way down over the dunes in my K5 Blazer. Spent the night on the beach scuba diving for flounder and then a bit of fishing. Loaded up with flounder. We had them on ice in a huge styrofoam ice chest (about 60 + quarts or better). The next day we did some more diving around the jetties and made an entire day of it. We headed in about 10 miles over sand dunes and on one dune we went airborne, and so did that styrofoam chest. When it came back down it busted into a million pieces. We had flounders and other fish slidin gup under the front seats and on the floor boards. A real mess. We tried to scrape it out and it was nothing but slimey stinkin mess. We were scheducled to go ouyt the next day on a charter boat for some diving as well so we parked the blazer with windows down somewhat and went.When we got back the entire inside was covered in flies and smelled like a fish cleaning station on the docks. It took a lot of work to get all that stink out of that blazer. I used top spread baking soda in it so thick it looked like snow, and I always kept a couple of bags of charcoal in it as well and never put the windows up even if it rained.......Even after I pulled carpet etc out it made little difference, it still smelled big time bad.

Hey, I feel bad for the deer too. I feel bad for all animals that are accidently killed (roadkill) or killed for no reason (such as in sport hunting).

I feel worse for the deer that get hit but not killed.

I think so, definitely in Wisconsin there's a problem with overpopulation and alot of deer deaths due to starvation. Without hunting, I have no idea how terrible it would be.

No doubt there is overpopulation - of humans. Blame the deer and wildlife all you want - but they aren't the ones leveling all the forests and building housing developments and malls.

I absolutely agree with you, but until I get my human tag, there's not much else I can do. If you've read Rainbow Six and can somewhat side with the bad guys, you and I are on the same page. I know it's absolutely man's fault. Given the current situation, however, herd control is the best viable option in my mind when compared to vehicular incidents and starvation. This isn't likely to change in our future.

Hunting will eventually come to a stop - because there will be nothing left to hunt. Its only a matter of time until man makes extinct every form of wildlife. Then what will be left to hunt? (btw, how is sitting in a tree and waiting for an animal to wander in front of you considered hunting? I'm not impressed. Kill a deer with a

[hr]
or a handmade bow and arrow and then I'll be impressed. Using a high-powered weapon from point blank range doesn't take much skill.) How depressing is that? Its inevitable that all species of wildlife - in the forests, in the air, and in the water will eventually be gone. So sad.

With the average American couple having 1.2 children, that problem should soon be solved......
