Porsche meets deer at Summit Point Raceway

GoPro: $199
Track day: $250
Windshield wiping deer guts : priceless!
I presume you guys coat your windshields with Deer-X?
Replace air filter every 15,000 miles, earlier if driving in deer fog.
And I always thought they meant "red mist" as a metaphor.

Haha... Chuck911's posts are quite witty. I like his posts. But there seems to be some people who don't like his posts; why?
(By the way, Chuck911, why does your avatar show Gstaad? Is it because you just like that place and like skiing? Or do you live near that place? I'm just curious...)

Recently viewed a National Geographic special on deer. One century ago the continental US had an estimated 500,000 deer as total population. Today, the population is estimated at 30 million. They are genetically losing their fear of being around human beings and we are supplying them with an incredible array of food sources in our backyards and farms. At the same time, we have taken away a lot of their wild habitat and forcing them into our civilization.
Interestingly, the program dramatically demonstrated the problem but hinted at no solutions whatsoever. I suspect that incidents like the OP experienced will only increase. Of note, a local municipality recently decided to allow year round bow hunting of deer within the city limits!

We have so many deer in the East Coast Mid-Atlantic that its epidemic. Just yesterday I come home from a trip to hardware store and there are (4) young bucks in my backyard grazing...my fear is not so much hitting deer in cars and trucks, but on my K1600 BMW Motorcycle. I ride with a group of guys and that's always in the discussion and we actually slow down on evening rides (which motorcyclists rarely do) because of the threat of them exploding out of the woods.
I bet the Boxster owner in that Video had quite a smelly mess to clean off his car from the blood spray at Summit. It had to have been pretty ripe when he got home.

They are all over my neighborhood as well. Eat everything too. There are no predators left( unless you include cars). As such their population grows unchecked.

Oldie, but appropriate:
Dear Diary...
AUG 12
Moved to our new home in Pennsylvania. It is so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them. I love it here.
OCT 14
Pennsylvania is the most beautiful place on Earth. The leaves are turned all colors and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through the beautiful mountains and saw some deer. They are so graceful, certainly they are the most wonderful animal on earth. This must be Paradise. I love it here.
NOV 11
Deer season will start soon. I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it will snow soon. I love it here.
DEC 2
It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow off the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won), and when the snow-plow came by, we had to shovel the driveway again. What a beautiful place. I love Pennsylvania.
DEC 12
More snow last night. I love it. The snow-plow did his trick again to the driveway. I love it here.
DEC 19
More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get to work. I am exhausted from shoveling. ****ing snow-plow.
DEC 22
More of that white **** fell last night. I've got blisters on my hands from shoveling. I thing the snow-plow hides around the curve and waits until I'm done shoveling the driveway. *******!
DEC 25
Merry ****ing Christmas! More friggen snow. If I ever get my hands on that son-of-a-bitch who drives that snow-plow, I swear I'll kill the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt the ****ing ice.
DEC 27
More white **** last night. Been inside for three days except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow-plow goes through every time. Can't go anywhere, car's stuck in a mountain of white ****. The weatherman says to expect another 10" of the **** again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10" is?
DEC 28
The ****ing weatherman was wrong. We got 34" of that white **** this time. At this rate it won't melt before next summer. The snow-plow got stuck up the road and that bastard came to the door and asked to borrow my shovel. After I told him I had broken six shovels already shoveling all the **** he pushed into my driveway, I broke my last one over his ****ing head.
JAN 4
Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get food and on the way back a damned deer ran in front of the car and I hit it. Did about $3,000 damage to the car. Those ****ing beasts should be killed. Wish the hunters had killed them all last November.
MAY 3
Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing is rusting out from that ****ing salt they put all over the road?
MAY 10
Moved to Georgia. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would ever live in that God-forsaken state of Pennsylvania.

Rabbits and deer are targets, but not just of cars. First and foremost they are food. Which explains why I've been seeing so many more coyotes- and even a bobcat. A radiologist I know was attacked and knocked to the ground by a Cougar while running on (and I am not making this up!) Tiger Mountain. That's about 10 miles from home, as the eagle flies, of which there are lots more too. Wish he had sent me the photo of the TEN scars on his back, exactly as if you took both hands, fingers spread, and raked his back shoulders to waist. We also have wolf packs recorded just the other side of the pass. But don't worry. They won't have to cross any dangerous streets to get here. We've taken money from working people and spent it creating "wildlife corridors" so wolves, bear and mountain lions can reach downtown Seattle without suffering the indignity of mixing with traffic.
Except, they do mix. And that guy in the Boxster. It occurs to me his window was down. Dear Griot's, which leather care product do you recommend for removing deer guts? PS I think this one was eating apples….
