I wonder why?

A few days ago we were on our way to Detroit coming across the Ky. real early in the morning. As I always do I was watching for the deer on the roadside and the vehicle in front of me. Sure enough a deer suddenly came runing at full speed right at the pickup truck in front of me. The pickup driver increased speed in an effort to keep from a head on with the deer. I could see that no way was the pickup and deer going to miss each other. I hit the brakes and was working the gears when all of the sudden the deer went airborn, landed in bed of the pickup and gave another leap and was across the freeway. The pickup slammed on his brakes, swearved to the roadside and stopped. I WONDER WHY? Could it be they needed to clean their seat covers?

This one gave me several chuckels over the remaining delivery miles, thought it might give you one also.

One thing I've learned from living in South Dakota....Its the deer you DON'T see that gets ya!! Instead of watching the one crossing look to the side and see the others!!!

This is a story about my wife's grandpaw,
Him and a buddy went deer hunting. His buddy killed a deer and they loaded it up in the pick up truck. They start down the road, and the next thing they know this deer is up looking around. The friend stops, and since he didn't want to shoot at it in the truck and risk putting a hole in his truck he grabbed a claw hammer that was laying there. He took care of business and they went on. Well later on that year this friend had a present under the christmas tree marked from santa claus (my wife's grandpaw played santa) it was a claw hammer with a scope mounted to it.

Arkjarhead, that story is hard to believe.....first, why would anyone kill a deer and not field dress it? Have you ever tried to drag a deer??? It's HARD WORK even with it properly dressed....I can't believe someone could drag one not gutted....
Second, no deer is going to lay there and let some guy pick up a hammer and hit it........just can't see that happening......
But, it is a great story.......especially the gift from Santa

2 men can't drag a deer? Your dreaming. Plus the thing had already been shot and was crippled what was it going to do? My wife's grandpam was very strong. He used to work in the plywood mill stacking sheets of plywood all day about the time this occured. You shouldn't call someone a liar because they are stronger than you. Plus the deer where they hunt weigh maybe 200 pounds before being gutted.

plus no one down here guts a deer until they get it back to camp or to the house anyway. You know I don't like being called a liar, and both the men who told the story were good men who are dead and gone and wouldn't just tell some bs lie. i guess it's that dickwad theory lawerence has that comes up when he posts. you must be hiding behind it.
