Love is Blind
« on: October 31, 2011, 07:41:05 pm »
I was at work this morning and watched this fine Buck, by Florida Standards anyway, chase a doe across the highway with his nose to the ground. I sure hope he caught her at least once before that big, fast Semi took him out. I hated to se that and also hated seeing some of the tips broke off when I stopped to cut them. He was a 12 point and had a 27" spread at the widest point.

John, yea, the kid's a ham and good actor.

Ronnie, we can pick up road kill if we call Game and Fish.

It is one of the biggest racks I've seen in Florida and I think I'm going to rebuild the broken parts and mount it on a plaque.

He didn't get that big by ignoring traffic...just goes to show what happens when chasing females take over.

JW, he got stupid in old age ;D ;D ;D. One of the guys at the mine told me they've seen him crossing in the same place 4 times in the last two weeks. There was also a big Boar hog(about 250#) just up the road.

That's too bad he had to go to waste.  So you witnessed him get clipped?  Been awhile since I've seen one get hit, used to see it all the time living in the North East during high school.  Didn't take long before I got desensitized to seeing them dead on the roads like squashed squirrels.  Guess that's what happens when the general population doesn't get hunting.  Never seen a buck like that down here, that's for sure.

 Steve, got to see it unfold almost in slow motion. You know when you're watching everything come together and it's like, "man, this is going to be ugly". He got blasted. The front part was just the front two legs and banged up head. :'(

Eddie,

That was a nice buck.  I wouldn't hesitate to take a shot at it.  Good save. I can almost hear the little guy saying, "say hello to my little friend...." :laugh:

 Cipriano, I'd have taken a shot at it with my F-250 if given the chance and salvaged the meat too.

 Auggie, I need the Jeep to get to Pappy's this weekend. The F-250 is owned by somebody else and has a 100K + miles on it. I just put a new tie rod in it that got bent hitting a couple of big pigs. Didn't have to pay for that either. ;D ;)
The Jeep sill looks too pretty to go smashing critters. ;D yet.
