Here in the burbs of DC the deer fatten up like crazy on the landscaping of the rich and famous. They are all over the place.
One time I hit a buck as it leapt over a Jersey wall where the construction for the new Inner Harbor and Wilson Bridge was taking place. We were coming home from church so the Ford F150 conversion van (which had horrible brakes) was full. I hit the brake pedal with both feet and locked my elbows to make sure I didn't swerve. Hit the deer broadside. He bounced off and ran about 50 yards and collapsed. Called my buddy because he also had a Caravan just in case my vehicle couldn't move. We also took the deer because I had a hunting license even though it was a Sunday. I confirmed with state police that it was o.k. to remove the animal.
Laid the deer out in the yard and had my friend take a picture of me posing with it with my Matthews bow! Processed the deer. Absolutely no waste. Weirdest thing ever. All I can attribute it to is shock.
That was 20 years ago and then the damage to the van was $4500.
