The other night,I hit my brakes,moveing out of way in construction zone,and bounce the trailer off a jersy barrier,trying to miss a deer.I bent a rim on trailer and hub cap> damadge about 500 buckx with service call.Still cheaper than the 1000 deductable if Id ran the deer over.but this comes with a chargeable accident.

I to am convinced that deer whistles work. I went into 5 stores that sold deer whistles and there were no deer, I repeat no deer in any of those stores, so there u go, they do work, of course .:eek:

Every so often I'll pass by a store that has a sign out front that reads "DEER SUPPLIES".
That one always cracks me up. I wonder how many deer get their supplies at these places?

Only city deer. No REAL self respecting deer buys their supplies, they prefer to browse.

Its 105 degrees in Tx, and the road sign reads, Ice on Bridge freezes over before it does on the road.

ive hit deer with deer whistles,and have also just had them look up as if they heard a whistle when I didnt have any.What deer whistles are,are living proof a truck driver will buy anything
