When I lived in PA I saw more roadkill deer the first year than I saw live deer in maybe 10 years here in GA.
The buck I hit one Thanksgiving morning was the biggest deer I had ever seen in person. It had been feeding on Amish farmland all Summer.
Eat it?
I was going to call a Mennonite butcher we used to frequent but when the Lancaster County cop and I looked at what was left of the buck he said they wouldn't take it- too badly damaged, probably bone fragments everywhere.
Somewhere in New Jersey a lady raised tigers (they got loose once) and she would take as much roadkill as she could get. I guess the big cats didn't mind the bones.
Oh man....if you could survive a winter driving up there “without” hitting one deer you were a lucky bastige.
Yes the seasons we are beautiful and terrible up there.
Seems to be more rain up there than I ever remember when growing up there.
All it does is rain up there now....every time I visit it’s friggin gray and rainy.
They have their moments but something is amiss with the weather patterns .
They have a lot of tornado’s also now as they were rare and more towards the Ohio flatlands.
The winters can be beautiful yet brutal.
I spent my entire childhood in Pennsylavania Appalachia in former Indian territory and my buddies and I lived in the woods.....best times I ever had ....until I moved
to north Georgia.
Now I spend as much time in these woods as possible....lol.
13 Winters up there and I only had 2 deer strikes, 1 with my car and one doe ran into the side of my 18 wheeler trailer on the Turnpike- that was saddening, hoping she would stop and then watching her in the mirror slam into the side as I was driving 70. Such a waste.
I forget how many people died during deer strikes but it was a lot.
So you admit you grew up in Pennsyltucky?
