RE: road kill
ORIGINAL: uncle matt
My friend's Mom's friend hit a deer the other night with her Buick. Well actually the deer was so big that it hit the Buick!
So I got the call to see if I wanted the deer or meat. When I got out there, the Buick was impaled on the deers rack. The tines went atleast halfway across the seats I tell ya. You could see sideways skid marks from the tires the deer hit it so hard. It must have broken it's neck on impact cause it was dead. The Buick was a total.
Anyway we got a tow truck out there to seperate the deer from the Buick. The tow driver had to bring in a bigger semi-truck tow because the first truck wasn't big/powerful enough. The second one was a Peterbilt I think.
Fortunately, we were careful enough that we didn't break any of thetines seperating the two. There must have been 8 or 10 guys out there and when we started counting points we didn't have enough fingers on all of our hands to add up all the points. Heck, old Marv even took his shoes off cause he couns better with his toes than his fingers. (Marv's toes ARE NOTa pretty sight - he ought to get some nail clippers or bolt cutters or something).
I tried to green score it but I only had a 25 foot tape measure in the truck and it ran out on just the main beams.
Then some hobos emerged from the woods. They were pretty filthy and looked pretty hungry so we gave it to them for the meat because it wouldn't fit in any of our truck beds. The tow drivers said they get calls like this all the time in that area. They said the deer are quite aggressive.
Without pictures..........................it's all just another story.

RE: road kill
My nieghbors picked up a roadkill buck a couple years ago, it was a 21 point non typical.Kind of a funny deal, at first glance it seemed to have the widest spread I even seen on a whitetail.If you laid a tape across the antlers it was something like a 28 inch spread.But once you got looking closer the skull hadshattered on impact and the antlers were just floating, you could push em down and back and almost get a 30 inch spread, but if pushed em up and forward to where they were supposed to be you lost about 6 inches and it was more like a 22 inch spread which was being genorous since there was no way to tell where they shoulda been to start with.
And for having 21 points and a good wide spread it wouldnt have even come close to making the P&Y minimum, the tines were for the most part only 1 to 2 inches long, just a lotta little nubs sticking out all over the place.Had a lotta character but not much else going on for it.
