Kamikaze Deer

[Dogman]

Am I the only one that feels bad for the deer

Kind of sounds like it.

Only if by feeling bad you mean that you didn't get the meat for deer jerky/patties/bacon...

If that's the case we all feel bad...

For those who don't get the reference, one of the greatest moments in television of all time.

THANK YOU! I was feeling very old for the missed reference.

I think that the trucker in question may have had some deer patties on his passenger seat.

THANK YOU! I was feeling very old for the missed reference.

I got it as well. Not only was it memorable moment for TV but it was based on real life events.

Oddly enough, this famous WKRP episode was loosely based on a real event! Back in 1946 (some sources say 1945), Yellville, Arkansas inaugurated the "Turkey Trot Festival" which included a wild turkey calling contest, a turkey target shoot, a Miss Drumsticks Pageant and oh yeah: a live turkey release from the roof of the courthouse. After a few years, someone thought it might be fun to actually toss the poor gobblers out of a low-flying airplane for the event. This repeated for a number of years until 1989 when a national animal-rights protest cast the event in a bad light and the "National Enquirer" splashed a photo of the event across the nation forcing promoters to abandon the turkey drop.

I guess it's a good thing deer never made it to the traditional Thanksgiving meal.

God as my witness, I thought reindeer could fly...

deer

I didn't see that one but I know there are a lot of deer hit right in that area, south of the old lumber yard, down to about Habigs. We have picked up a bunch over the years.

Death from above.
