Branstad hit a deer.

GREAT!!! Read on KCRG website, Branstad was involved in a car, deer accident. He'll probably have to rethink the reduction of doe tags. It's way to dangerous for the Gov. to be driving around.

This is funny... sort of... I nearly hit a deer the other day, it is that time of year they're moving around with all the farming activity. Hope Branstad and his posse are smart enough to realize this.
 
Oh, I think his vision is assisted by FB lobby $$$$$'s. ;)

Totally agree, the real motivator in all of the deer reduction talk IMO is the Farm Bureau. Grrrr! (I am not a FB fan.)

Switching gears...Many do not realize that the month of May is often the 2nd highest deer collision month, behind November of course, annually. This is the time of the year known as "dispersal" where the previous years fawns are being kicked out of the house by momma doe right before she drops this years offspring. Many young, suddenly homeless, deer get wiped out in May.
 
I like how the damage cost has been inflated to $8000.
They showed picks on the news and I would guess $1500 tops.

Thanks for the information Daver.

I know we are all having fun with this but it really does not

help our cause. It actually helps FB even more unfortunately.

It made the news? Cant say ive ever seen a car deer colision make the news. And 8k in damages makes this whole almost seen like a situnt.
 
Trooper was driving the SUV.

Just read about it. Saw the other accident and the crash landing in the plane. Lucky guy. Be interesting to see how he reacts to deer # recommendations in the future. Sure the state insurance reps are looking at his rates.
