RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

I have seen several bucks which have been run over, but very few of them still have their antlers. I think people tend to cut the antlers off after hitting or finding a freshly killed one.

About ten years ago I was driving home from a long day of hunting and all of a
sudden a huge buck hurdled over the guardrail and landed on the windshield of
the car right in front of me. The car weaved back and forth and deer hair filled the
sky in front of me. It was a very nice 8 pointer. What a waste. Also, last year my
buddy nailed a nice rack buck with his pick-up 1/2 mile from his house. $3000
worth of damage but the buck jumped up and limped into the woods. We searched
for hours to find it but could not. The moral of the story is you don' t have to look that close, they will find you.[8D]

There' s one in my freezer that died this way. At first glance though I would have said he was a doe but on closer inspection saw where the antlers were ( shed not cut). Then of course field dressing removed all doubt along with everything else.

I hit a mature buck two years ago. I saw the buck just before I hit him, either a 4x4 or 5x5. Both antlers broke off right at the skull and there wasn' t much left of the pieces. I would guess this is fairly common with bucks that get hit. Look like does laying beside the road.

I just saw a 4X4 this year on the side of the road driving to my hunting spot...nice mass too[:@]oh well...

One of the largest bucks in NC was killed by a vehicle. I see plenty around here but generally more button bucks and does.

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

It can depend on where you live. If you live in an area with lots of does, you are more likely to see a road-killed doe.

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

Yes they do. I hit a six pointer several years ago and have had several close calls with bucks standing on the road side. Seems like I see the most bucks on roadways during rifle season, which is about the same time as the rut in my region.

Two years ago I came upon a stopped car in the road that had just hit a real nice
8 to 10 pointer.

They don' t let you out much do they?[:o]

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

during the rut they get hit very often.

They just don' t last on the side of the road for that long;)

I owe my best set of rattling horns to a Honda:D:D

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

bucks get hit. but like they said, people probley cut the rack off

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

I can remember three bucks that I have hit myself . We live in the country and they didn' t used to keep the brush cleared away from the side of the road .it was pretty common to hit one You just had to remember to drive slow . I have even had a 8 point get his horn hooked in the mirror on my pickup .

DNR/Government Insurance Company have a radio, mail out and road signs slogans that state:

" SLOW DOWN AND SAVE A BUCK!"

I think that should answer your question;)

Last year the biggest buck killed at our club was hit by a car.â€*

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

Obviously you have never driven in Michigan. I know someone who hit a 10pt last fall. The only reason more does get hit than bucks is there are more does in the wild.

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

I have seen buck, doe, fox, turkey, dogs, cats, cow, squirrel, and many more things in the road.:D

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

I have seen a few bucks in the road and had a few close calls with some large bull elk. Definetly don' t want to hit one of those.

Up north around here lots of people get killed every year by hitting moose. Up around Algonquin provincial Park the moose are like black flys.

RE: Do bucks ever run onto roads?
 

Im sure youve seen a buck or 2 on the road u probly just didnt notice it, the reaso u see so many does hit and not bucks is probly there is a high doe:buck ratio. here is like 15-20:1 but i did see 1 dead 4 pointer on the road this year. I dont think theres a game animal out there that doesnt cross the road.
