RE: Trempealeau County Car Kill
I have a couple of stories!
I was riding my Buell X1 Motorbike somewhere around the back roads of St. Croix WI at night. 80mh. A doe came running full speed from my left. No time to react except to brace for an impact. Luckily for me she only got far enough where I smacked her in the head with my left thigh. I didn’t go down, but I got a hell of a tank slapper. I kept going and never looked back! I was riding sweep with a small group and didn't want to pull over on a soft shoulder in total darkness. I'm not sure what happened to the deer. It could have broken her neck, knocked her out, or probably kept running. It gave me a bruise about the size of a foot ball even though I was wearing full leathers with armor!
Another WI adventure! I was driving a 93 ford probe and nailed a doe in her hind quarter. I would have probably missed, but she bucked backwards to make a leap or starting to run. Nailed her solid with the front starboard side of the car. I spun around, hit a guard rail strait on, spun the other way, and got strait back on the road! Didn’t even stall the motor! She ran about 100 feet into the grass and laid down. The Police called animal control to put her down because she had a broken hip.
