Deer hate the rx8

Think of it this way
Deer 0
RX-8 1
Deer paid your 3000 with its sad short life. Since Im pretty sure it did not die right away, so it was a painful death
Feel better now ? Go fix ur 8 already !

I know Kimmi had a run in with one of the evil things a few weeks back and it got me thinking of a few (*cough* questionably legal *cough*) "optional extras" I might like to put into my RX-8. Unfortunately, I determined that I'd be turning my car into a rolling felony.

like what? those deer whistlers? they arent illegal...
deer are a huge dilemma. the problem is that we have eliminated and/or destroyed the habitat for their natural predators. wolves.
if we could reintroduce a thriving population of wolves in the east coast states, like maryland. our problems would get reduced. of course, the general population is too stupid to understand concepts like predation and OMG WE MUST SAVE THE CHILDREN. so wolves are out.
we do we get? the local PD goes out and shoots a few hundred deer every year. congrats. no dent made there. what we should do is have open season on all deer (pregnant deer included and mothers with children) all year round and make deer hunting licenses FREE. and you can hunt them with whatever the hell you can kill them with.
or, the state should give you $20 for every deer you donate to a soup kitchen.

Dear Deer,
Humans have been at war with us for as long as we can remember. First it was spears, then arrows, then guns. Now, even cars.
As you know, it is almost one year to the day since my brother was left crippled by the RX8 that goes down the car river every day. I will avenge my brother in the only way possible. I will martyr myself by throwing myself into the RX8, using my body to destroy it forever. I know that some disapprove of these tactics, but disproportionate warfare is the only option we have. Aim for the headlights.
Peace be with you,
Bimbi
PS, why do people keep digging up these ancient threads?

Oh Deer!
We have Elk up North here in AZ. I would hate to hit one of those. They stand by the side of the road and wait for the right car and do a suicide death dive on it. So far I've been lucky the few times I've seen them.

I see deer all over the place up in the hills when i go cruising and I'm always worried one is going to dodge right in front of me. I'm thinking of getting some of those deer whistles and placing them somewhere inconspicuous under the front bumper.
The only thing you can really do about them is slow down. It's illegal to have a buddy shoot them out of the sunroof and I don't think you'd have enough time to aim and drop a deer before it found your bumper.

That's what I meant by a "rolling felony".
