Buck Sitting On Rt. 40

moojersey · Dec 16, 2016

Weirdest thing the other night. There was a big 8-10 point buck just sitting in the middle of the intersection of Rt. 40 and Red Toad Rd. in North East. He wasn't really moving, staying very still, eyes open. I wasn't sure if he was alive or dead (rigor mortis?) This was Wednesday night...anyone else see him? He was gone when I drove back through 2-3 hours later. Kind of eery.

Thinking he may have been hit by a vehicle, got hurt, sat down and died that way

Could have a broken spine. Partially paralyzed behind the front shoulders. Or, got hit and was stunned. Sometimes they recover, sometimes they don't.

could have been hit in the hind quarter, then spun off the road, breaking the hips and making the rear legs useless

I didn't see him, but I am pretty amazed by how often I see dead deer on the sides of the roads around here. We have a pretty large deer population.

Never mind the dead deer, it's a rare commute I don't have a live one giving me the hairy eyeball from at least the shoulder, often multiple.

My freezer has way too much space. I'd love to take a couple of those hairy eyeballed creatures and fill it up. :yummy:

I hope they stay out of your way. Drive safely.

I have a bunch at my land who are deer jerks. They come out at night to avoid being jerk-y. Other nighttime deer conspire at roadsides, or are depressed deer. I wish the depressed deer would go to my land when I am hunting. Corn will cheer them up, right?
