Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes.
Had a touch of cabin fever today so i decided to take the Jeep out for a joy ride an hour or so before dusk.
First of all i have to say i live in a sparsely populated mostly agriculture based County.
First off i spot in the distance what i think is a large herd of cattle grazing on a harvested cornfield. Nope its a gigantic herd of deer. Stopped counting at 50! The largest deer herd i've seen in these parts.
A few miles down the same country road i spot another herd this time some are in or near the road. At least 30+ and they ain't budging. So i rolled down the windows and gave out my coyote howl....worked again...they skeedaddled!
Another mile down the road and another herd scavenging another harvested corn field.... this one a little smaller maybe 15 or 20.
Finally decided to take this lonely gravel road back to my home. Yet another herd maybe a dozen or more with at least a couple big bucks.
Then no more than a half mile away.... still another small herd.
Deer season opening day is a big deal here, its just about a holiday. Apparently the herds were'nt culled enough this season for some reason.
I've had two deer vs. vehicle collisions over the years. Both times those stupid deers darted out from the brush. Luckily they were only side swipes and the local paintless dent repair shop fixed both of em good as new and under a $100 'while you wait'! I highly recommend consulting one of those places before taking your gimped vehicle to a conventional body shop.
