Re: [MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
Our area is lousy with deer but quite honestly I haven't heard of a single Collision. The mention of skunks got me to wondering. Do they have any natural enemies?

Re: [MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
My S550 was a deer magnet up around DC somewhere. My boy lives in an apt building that backs up to Rock Creek Park in DC. He says the park is thick with deer to where it is occasionally closed for culling the things. —FT Sent from my iPad > On May 6, 2022, at 11:06 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > I figured it was an issue anywhere deer are located.

Re: [MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
Well around here people hitting deer or deer running into cars at night cause many thousands of dollars worth of damage. You free a deer which then goes on to hit or be hit by a car, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. You could have possibly saved somebody from that by eliminating that deer instead of freeing it. I guess people think they are cute and all but in reality they are pests that need their population controlled. On 5/6/2022 9:52 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: Uhhh, OK.

Re: [MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
Lots of deer and elk around here, especially at night. Unless you’re not a local, you know to drive slowly, especially in certain spots where they congregate. We’ve had a number of occasions where we’ve come around a turn in the road and there will be a deer or elk just standing there. Arizona Game and Wildlife has warned us with emails and mailings about mountain lions in the immediate neighborhood. Never seen one myself, but there are skunks, foxes, squirrels and all sorts of other varmints I see on the cameras around the house late at night. Their tracks and behaviors are pretty predictable. There’s a skunk that walks around the garage every morning like clockwork around 3:30. -D > On May 6, 2022, at 6:08 PM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > Then it runs off and destroys somebody's car driving down the road at night. > > On 5/6/2022 5:59 PM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes wrote: >> Woke up about 4:00 am because I swore I heard deer antlers against the >> neighbor’s chain link fence.

Re: [MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
Lol, that’s like the second one I hit. Walked into the road in front of me, saw it coming so I stood on the brakes hard. Busted the turn signal cover and tore the duct for the oil cooler, and probably pushed the fender back a bit, but nothing serious. Deer, however, was thrashing around in the road and looked like it had a least a broken front leg. So I called it in, damned buck (big one) in the middle of the road late at night is an accident waiting to happen, and if it was badly damaged it need to be put down (and eaten….). Deputy was on the way when it got up and shook it’s head and ran off. Deputy had a long chat about diesel cars, poor guy must have been on a long run of deadly boring patrols in the empty part of the county, but he was glad he didn’t have to kill the deer. No thank you from that one either….

[MBZ] OT - How My Day Started
Woke up about 4:00 am because I swore I heard deer antlers against the neighbor’s chain link fence. Looked out, couldn’t see anything, went back to sleep. Mrs. Dan comes in around 6:00 and says that youngest son wants to talk to me about the deer stuck in the neighbor’s fence. Really? Go outside to see a young doe that had tried to jump over a gate in the neighbor’s chain link fence and gotten it’s right rear leg caught on the top of the fence gate. From a distance it looked like the deer’s leg was caught in some of the ornamental metal on the top of the gate. It didn’t appear to have broken anything, but was clearly stressed and struggling to get loose. As this is Arizona and lots of people have firearms, we didn’t want to go into the neighbor’s back yard unannounced, as we didn’t want to approach the deer from the front. The house next door is an Airbnb, so we knocked several times but got no answer. There were clearly people in it as there were cars present and some banners around the front door congratulating a grad (it’s graduation weekend at NAU). We then realized we could get into their yard where a portion of the fence had collapsed near the end of the property where it adjoins mine, so we climbed over with some tools and a blanket to toss over the deer’s head to calm it while we worked. When we got close to it, we realized that it’s hoof was caught between the chain link and top bar of the gate, so I crept back to the garage and got a small bolt cutter. I crept back, staying as low as possible to avoid the deer’s vision, came up behind it and the fence, cut the chain link and freed the deer. It bounded off in pretty good shape, leaving a little blood and fur behind. Damned thing didn’t even say “Thank you”, but what do you expect from Bambi when she came from a broken home? -D ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
