This was stolen from Blue Collar Comedy last night. Charge set to achieve 55mph, headlights installed on bullet, shoot in near area of deer and the deer will jump in front of the bullet.

IT would work!

The only time I ever made contact with a deer with my car-

Drizzly misty night, one of the few lights on the road I was on was the yard light at a house I was approaching. A doe jumped the fence on my right and crossed well in front of me. I braked hard, knowing more would follow. As I decelerated, another crossed. I kept braking, thinking I could see the outline of another in the pasture. I had just attained a full stop in the best lit part of the road when another jumped the fence and ran straight into the front fender, breaking that $100 plastic headlight/turn signal all to pieces! Sitting still!

I'd say 80% of all deer impacts are people hitting deer... But about 20% of the time, deer hit people. Slamming into the side of the hood or the doors or what not...

Sir, my dad had a deer jump *through* his Suburban a few years ago. It came in one rear side window, thrashed around a bit in the back, then went out the other rear side window, leaving all sorts of blood and hair behind.

Crazy as it sounds, apparently it's not too uncommon. The body shop guys told Dad they see it happen about once every year or two.

Hope this helps, and Semper Fi.

I saw a deer come up on the road and start to run down a bridge, when it was about in the middle of the bridge it decided to jump the rail. I can't imagine it's surprise when there was no land to greet it on the other side of the rail.

Deer are stupid. Animals the size of a really large dog with a brain the size of a bunny's. Its bound to cause problems.

I guess I'm due for another deer this season. Its been a couple of years. I was just motoring down the interstate, minding my own business and the whole herd jumped out on the roadway. All the rest of them kept going. The stupidest one just stood still. I wasn't going all that fast (my wife was along, so she believed). The stupid anti-lock brakes kept me going, straight into the side and behind of Bambi. She pooped on my hood, along with dying. So $4000 later, I've again come to hate deer.

A friend has a beautiful full mount turkey in his office. He ran over it with his Bronco on a highway in Mississippi near Picayune and then got out of the Bronco (which was one of those old hi jack ones) and it had stood up all wobbly with that "what just happened" look and he shot it with a .22. Best hunting story ever

Coming down out of the Hill Country in Texas years ago in a Ford truck (on one of those slow right turn/left turn/right turn roads), we had a deer jump and actually land in the bed of the truck. He went down, got up, shook himself and while we were slowing to a stop he just stood there. We were trying to figure out how to shoot him through the back window when he jumped out and took off.
A couple of miles farther down was a game inspection station. I've often wondered what would have happened had that deer broken it's neck when it jumped in AND if we hadn't seen it, just passed it off as a pothole in the road causing the truck to lurch AND then stopped at the inspection station.

"Honest Officer, I never saw that deer before in my life. He must have just jumped in there all by himself ".

Yeah, right.

What's IT have to do with it?
