    They are everywhere in Michigan this year. This may be a record year for car-deer accidents.

    With as many deer as there are, they should get together to keep motorists off the roads! Kind of a herd stand-in! With signs! Or something like that.

    Some other things to consider:
    1. where there’s one deer, there’s more so slow down anytime you see one. The doe or buck will usually cross a road and make sure it’s safe on the other side. It will then stand there and wait for the herd to follow.
    2. deer do not yield the right of way.
    3. if you’re travelling at a high rate of speed and a collsion with one of the beasts is imminent, DON’T BRAKE! Slamming on the brakes causes the nose of the vehicle to “dip” increasing the chances that the deer will come through the windshield.
    4. those cheesey plastic deer alerts sold to stick on your bumper can actually attract deer.

    I’m glad to see our governor has time to work on the her ‘Theme of the Month’ agenda instead of working to get a budget approved. The state is scheduled to start shutting down Sunday at midnight….. She better get going or who is going to pick up all the road kill?

    Well, with all the deer getting hit we will at least have something to eat. Most people won’t have jobs here soon, but we can eat the native species.

    I should get a dent-proof bumper on my truck and go deer hunting.

    Who needs guns? Not only that, they’ll be pre-tenderized.

    Jen Jen is just glad that we don’t have a Moose problem like they do where she’s from.

    So… when you say “eat the native species”… do we start with the Gov and work our way down the legislative ladder?

    By the way… Moose tasts a lot better than deer. Maybe we should import Moose into MI and let them battle it out with the Deer.

    That was the hidden thought behind my last message. Democrats probably taste like chicken. (I just couldn’t resist)

    The solution appears to be to move the deer to W. Va since there are only 21,000 incidents there (see the related article). Besides, I would think any politician would taste like the bottom of a cespool..ugh.

    Gov. Jen Jen isn’t a native species. She’s an invasive one, more destructive than the zebra mussels.
