Ever seen the dashcam footage of the police car that hits a deer at ludicrous speed?

Daniel-i truly enjoy the way you chose to enlighten us. Understanding fully the danger i could not prevent( i tried really hard not to ) my self from R A O T F L M A O.  Truly i did try not to. I have learned though when you do chose to grace us with a story-absolutely no-none -nada beverages of any kind allowed in the immediate area of the computer.  Oh B T W-i have killied bambi and her offspring all over this fine country of ours. The big difference-most of my kills have come while at the controls of an 18 wheeler. A pickup and a cage have been used to dipatch them but-thank god-none from a motorcycle-YET.  Again-thanks. RIDE SAFE. |

And that police video is why i have a Go Rhino Brand push bumper on my Grand Cherokee. The guy at the body shop showed me that same video while looking for a replacement for the guard that was on the jeep when the wife got into an argument with a power pole while napping.

Daniel, you do have a way with words, and a style of writing that I really enjoy. Speaking of enjoying, that's what I did when meeting you at IZ, and attending your interesting and informative Tech sessions. Thanks a lot for putting up with all of our comments and questions, and for sharing part of your vast knowledge with us. Did this "Deer incident" you blogged about happen on your way home from IZ? If so, I am glad you were kept safe, both by your skills, and by God watching out for you.  I know what you mean by that musty smell of death. Unfortunately I have killed several Bambies, and their full grown parents with some of my wheeled conveyances. Fortunately, each time it happened, my conveyances of choice at the time had more than two wheels!  |

Great story Daniel, glad you and the scooter survived it. Two deer on the same hunt is called a “twofer” here. We don’t usually blow them up though.
I know that smell you’re talking about too. Even after all these years of dissecting deer with a hunting knife I’m still amazed at the way they “ferment” corn in their digestive tract before they actually digest it. It’s very nasty to look at and smell but very funny to throw on your buds hunting boot.
Must be why I don’t like whiskey.

GREAT STORY!!! Well told, too. Most of us have ridden when we knew better and we ignored our 'inner voice' anyway... most of us have survived, too... Appears you beat the odds twice, and I marvel at your good fortune... You're quite right about the ability of deer to teleport themselves from nowhere to right in front of us!!! That's when the faint of heart, like yours truly, choose to find a room and a cold beer... Ride on, dude (and please continue to write on, as well!!!)... You're awesome fer sure!!!

Great blog. I didn't feel so bad laughing about it because I knew you'd survived. (dead men tell no tales nor write no blogs)
Two deer in one night. Excuse me while I go delete the video I posted on you tube of the squirrel that ran out in front of me.
