January 15, 2008: Hunting Deer in Germany [Graphic]

[DucksNuts]

These photos have been doing the rounds on the hunting forums the last few days and turning up in email.

All very neat and tidy really, minimal damage to the car.

Clean the air filter? Maybe. Off ya go! BTW. How do they it's a deer???

[binky]

that's fucking sick

[binky]

not you buster the pics

It could be worse, blinky. Usually these pics are of a deer that's gone thu the windshield. Guts lining the inside of the car and organs on the floor. Now THAT'S F*cking sick!

[fargon]

I think it's a dog.

deer soup ??
Deer burgers ??
Deer TarTar ???

[jinx]

I agree with Fargon... looks like it used to be a dog.

I've seen sites claiming;
1-140 lb deer at 140 mph.
2-100 lb deer at 140 mph.
3-140 lb deer at 120 mph.
4- Bambi at 140 mph.
5- Bambi at 120 mph.

I'm betting Bambi at 140 mph because it went in the grille and knocked the motor off it's mounts, instead of over the hood through the windshield.
Besides, how in hell would they know what it weighed? Some of it had to have gone out the bottom.... especially the fluids.

Incredible. Amazing the way it went neatly through the grill opening. Poor little critter, but at least it would have been quick.

I'd like to put on an "I don't know anything about cars" look, call a roadside mechanic, tell him, "I was just driving along and suddenly it stopped working" ... and get a photo of his expression when he pops the bonnet (hood).



"Sir, I think I've found the problem."

I'd like to play the Joker and call photoshop.

(maybe only middle-aged Brit dwellars will get that.....)

Roe deer (the kind they have in Germany) max out at ~70lbs. So, any of the claims of 100-140lbs are probably either hopeless exaggeration, or North Americans substituting the wrong kind of deer in their made-up-to-go-with-the-pictures story.

Dog-sized, yes, but, um, not really enough physical evidence to go on. No cute widdle feetsies or headsies in evidence.

So, I'd wager 50lb deer, at ~100mph. Just mussed up the plastic cosmetic engine cover somewhat. But, well, no way to tell?

Bleargh.

Good point. The Germans would never lie to us about anything. Had to be Americans.

I must be getting slow.

Surely this is grilled deer.
