Any of you have any weird storied to tell that happened when you were hunting? I do! During shotgun deer season last fall(2004)I was sitting in a stand in our woods(we have 14 acres of land surround by fields). The neighbors each season get a big party and do drives through the woods as their way of hunting. Anyway I was sitting in the stand, decided to get down because I was cold when I hear the neighbors start shooting across the road. They shoot at running deer so they shoot alot,lol! Well I climb back up in the stand because the deer tend to run across the road and into our land. I'm watching and see some tails come up over the hill in a field across the road. I see some does and they turn to cross the road. Well at the same time they are crossing, a car comes up the road, it doesn't slow down and I hear a "clunk" type of sound. I can't see very well through the trees but I see the back end of a deer in flip into the air then I see the deer run into the woods to my left and one deer was a little slower than the others. Well I thought maybe that car hit one but it didn't even slow down! The car kept going. I call on the radio to the house and my dad comes over and walks the edge of the woods where I saw the deer. Nothing came out so I thought the deer kept going. I climb down and he says there is a huge doe lying dead on the edge over there! I'm like "Wow, so the car did hit the deer!" Well we weren't going to waste it so we dragged her back to the house and cleaned her up. The car hit her right in the shoulder and the force was enough to break ribs which punctured the lungs and when my mom cleaned the heart, the inside was like totally blown up from the force. It is too bad so many deer are left lying on the road because alot of good meat gets wasted. So anyone else have a story?
