Careful what you pick up on the highway

Video from the local news tonight.
Deer in trunk

HA - that happened to a couple of my friends!

(picture cheech and chong)

They were driving into work and somebody had hit a nice sized buck on the other side of the highway - and it was lying on their side - rubber neckers were all slowing down the taffic.

So as they passed, they decided to pull over and throw it into the back of the pick up truck.

Off they went with enough venison to last them a season of ice fishing.

Traffic picked up speed again, and they were putting along and noticed they were getting a lot of funny looks from people who passed them.

Finally the guy driving looked into his rearview and saw the deer's face staring back at him.

It was sitting up in the bed of the truck like a dog, just looking around like he didn't have a care in the world.

They got off the highway and stopped at a police station to see if somebody could shoot it for them.

The woman dispatcher freaked out and told them they couldn't transport a live deer - and also that there was nobody who could shoot an animal...

They told her they'd just dump it in her parking lot if they can't transport it...

She finally sent them to the highway department.

They got there and that woman freaked out even more - she told them they only pick up DEAD animals, they don't KILL them - get it the )#*($ out of here!

deer still sitting up all this time. Just staring calmly at them as the got in and out of the truck at each stop.

Neither guy owns a gun - but one is a bow hunter -they were going to go to his house and shoot arrows into it - but hesitated at the thought of chasing the thing down main street if it ran, bleeding with a bunch of arrows sticking out of it...

So they decided to bring it out to MY house so I could shoot it for them - but fortunately (my wife would have killed all of us) my neighbor happened to be outside as they passed. They knew he was a hunter so they stopped in there.

He got a gun, and was coming out with it when all of a sudden the deer just popped up on all 4 hopped out of the truck - jumped over a tractor - and was off into the woods.

The guy took a shot, but apparently missed.

no idea if he survived, that was the last anybody saw of him.

And that's how the bullet hole came to the tractor fender, honest injun!

Well, the one I threw in the back of the truck this morning was deader than a door nail! Thankfully it didn't cause much damage.

you sure you are not getting this confused with Tommy Boy?

My brother shot a turkey once, walked up to it proudly lit a smoke he must have only knocked it out it jumped up and ran away never got it. We still laugh

thats a good story!

That's cause us massoles are such carefull drivers? We only stun out prey? ... bad story, hit a young doe. Uncle with me, we get out to check her and the car. Car has a big dent in the side, deer still alive but can't move, twitching and breathing. An old caravan pulls up behind us. Now what do we do? A middle aged Puerto Rican guy, heavy accent, asked if we were OK, and about the deer. With a little boy in the car... My uncle askes him 'what are you going to do with that? How you going to deal with it? He said he is surrounded by Puerto Rican city people, he will tell them he bought a goat from a farm around here.. they won't know the difference. Well, it ain't dead yet, you can't put it in a van with you like this, not with a kid in the car with you. He agrees. My uncle tries to break its neck, don't work, hit her with a tire iron, no deal. He said... as JR would testify, there are more guns in Mass than the rest of the world thinks there is.... Unk tells the guy to go look for a plastic bag bigger than the deer's head. He walks back to his van... Uncle askes me 'what do you have with you?' I told him just the 22 deringer...He says, OK right here... puts his finger on the temple between the ear and eye, hey so much traffic you couldn't hear it go off.... the guy is back with a bag.... oh man... the tiny black dot is puffing smoke rings...nice perfect circle smoke rings straight up... he is amazed. he has a puzzled look on his face as his eyes are following the smoke rings ... then he says 'aaaaahh, can I have him now? I tink he is dead now'.... oh man I wanted to be anywhere but there.... we helped him toss it in his van, he got off the next exit, we kept going our way... coming at us in the 4 lane is 3 staties, full bore... on their way to a deer/car accident... that they never found...a beam me up scotty moment....
drive carefully boys and girls....

sounds like a good hunting camp story to me. probably could have won an award with vidoe documentation.

Where'd that happen?

When I was 12 I begged my dad to go out back duck hunting. It was fall and ducks were coming in to the corn stubble in the evening. He was tired from work but went with me as the law required. I shot a black duck as it landed an winged it. I ran out and got it. "ring its neck" he said. So i twirled it around by its head and we carried it up fron the back of the 40 acre field. It was cold out so I took it in the basement and spread some news papers out and went to get a bag for feathers and a knife. I told my sister to go check it out and she said where is it? After the shooting, the ringing, and carrying it all the way home by the neck, it was crawling around the basement!

think this was proven to be a hoax but is still funny, guy hits a deer and it comes alive after its in his car. Bill
I need a bambalance

Back sometime in the fifties, a local man was in the store one afternoon, when one of his children came in and said "Daddy, that deer in the trunk is thrashing around!"

M46 just west of Six Lakes.

Wife called and said she hit a deer on the way to work. The deer never even got off the road. I picked it up and the only damage to the van was a 50-cent-sized dent in the hood. Still don't know what killed the deer. Never found any blood or damage. Must have hit just in the right place.
