The incidents took place 22 years apart but I was ready to quit driving forever after the second one.<br /> <br />But SIX? SIX? I don't know whether poor Jilda deserves an award for surviving six hits, a new car [tank?] to deter the deer or simply to retire. Wow.<br /> <br />I am glad she is okay tho'.

There see...Many times those whistles don't work<br />There seem to be an awful lot of deer in your area.<br />I don't understand the citation writing though when deer attack cars. I'd rebut it.We see so many big daddies hitand leave them on the side of the road, some without half of their ribs. That's some hit.<br />I almost hit a moose once. He just took off right in front of the truck and hitting that moose could have killed all of us inside. It was HUGE!A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-18008221564376833772012-11-28T12:16:21.020-06:002012-11-28T12:16:21.020-06:00What the heck?!?

Oddly we had those on a previous vehicle and we swore they worked. Traveling to my daughters about a hour and 15 minutes away, there is a section of the state road that is prone for deer. We would see them literally turn and run away. They worked for us many times while in the mountains, late at night, too. When I began reading this post, I thought, "They need deer whistles." WOW! So sorry they haven't worked. The irony of it all is so sad. I loved the irony in your tale, though.renae https://www.blogger.com/profile/03691374381873932228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-14793196048675562732012-11-27T21:08:57.003-06:002012-11-27T21:08:57.003-06:00That is some funny stuff!

I think it stirs them up and confuses them causing them to run in front of the cars!Funny in My Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281231657407206988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-52840177293553545542012-11-27T21:03:56.436-06:002012-11-27T21:03:56.436-06:00Now, look here, Buster.

My car was attacked by a deer in Maryland. Weeks of repairs were required. And the darn deer scared me half to death. Sweet Jilda is not a deerslayer.<br /><br />Love,<br />JanieJanie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.com
