10/25/08 White NA in center median of 85 appx @ mile marker 117, Clipped a deer

[ben91]

Looked like a white NA with wheels (maybe chaparrals) and a roll bar. Hard to tell though since it was night and I was traveling at high speed. Sitting in the I-85 median facing north, north of the Mall of GA exit a little after 9PM. I saw the dead deer in the middle of the north bound left lane. I was traveling south and due to the new median barrier system, I was unable to pull over to render any needed assistance. I did take the MoG exit to turn around, but I was passed by 2 police cars who I'm pretty sure were responding to the scene.

Hope you're ok.

Hmmm...deer and Miatas dont get along.

No good. Britt got t-boned by a deer in her '00. It tore her car up pretty badly.
Hope they were ok.

I hate deer.

[Acro]

My fast night mountain runs are over till spring because of deer.

[ben91]

I saw quite a few this month.

[MeFryRice]

I've been seeing a lot of armadillos lately. I hate those just as much as deer.

[Sawyer]

Believe it or not, a bobcat jumped out in front of me on my way home last night!! :jawdrop:

[RotorNutFD3S]

That's really weird! They're not usually spotted this far south!
I had 6 deer in my front yard this morning when I left for work. They just stood there and watched me get in my car and leave. Bastards are lucky I don't like venison that much.

[Sawyer]

Yeah, it scared the **** out of me! It was on Fischer Rd. right before you go up that hill before you get to 34.
Deer are probably my least favorite animal.. I hate them so much!!

[RotorNutFD3S]

Wasn't just an ugly dog or something? :lol:

[Sawyer]

Nope! Definitely a bobcat! It was twice the size of a normal cat with a short stubby tail. After it jumped in front of me, I stopped and it walked parallel to the street for a while so I got a pretty good look at it!

[RotorNutFD3S]

:jawdrop: Damn! Would have been a great time to have a good camera with you!

[MeFryRice]

I wish you would have taken a picture of it. I would have liked to see it. Pretty weird to think that they are this far south.

[RotorNutFD3S]

Yeah, that's not normal.

[Sawyer]

Yeah I didn't know if I was hallucinating or something! I just had my crappy camera phone with me. Didn't even cross my mind to take a picture, sorry!!

[Doppelgänger]

Eric, next time you see them in your yard, pop them with a paintball gun... tag those bastards.

[RotorNutFD3S]

lol I was actually going to do that, but the last time I used my gun, I ran out of CO2. :(
