venison for easter?

[ed ritti]

On easter, we're back in west chester, pa to see family. i was driving with the wife and kids on rte 322 a two lane 55 mph road. A deer jumped over the guardrail from the bushes and landed right in front of the truck. I replaced the shocks last year after 3 months with the truck as per the suggestions of the members of MYST. I hit my brakes to not hit the deer and then threw the truck into the other lane and back. There is no way the truck does not turnover if i had not replaced the shocks.



Regardless the deer bodychecked the passenger side of the door and no damage was done. Thanks to the members

I have never been in PA and not seen a dead deer on the side of the road. Good to hear you are all OK.

Glad everyone is alright and no harm was done.:supercool:



Pennsylvania has some of the dumbest hunting laws. My family around Pymatuning don't do well with laws and such, though. Pennsylvania is extremely overpopulated with deer and hunting season is a couple weeks long with a small limit. There are some brutes, though.

I have lived there most of my life. I can honestly say its not about hunting laws. it is about over-development. the deer have no where to go.

So, what you're saying is that there are almost no woods left in Penn's Forest? :grin:

In Texas they passed a law a few years ago that if you hit a deer (or any wild animal), you can take it home and eat it (assuming you can still drive your vehicle). You are only required to report it to the police.
