You spot a little brook.

They say there is an abundance of them, but it still makes me sad to see them.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05334129707341089450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-22141812957950388542007-04-05T17:12:00.000-04:002007-04-05T17:12:00.000-04:00Ummm....

All too true.<BR/><BR/>William Stafford's poem "Traveling Through the Dark" is about this. It's one of my favorites.

No antlers...small face, but bigger body; sort of looked like all the female deer I've seen on farms?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747583945280534950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-69452369604720046972007-04-04T13:04:00.000-04:002007-04-04T13:04:00.000-04:00Just like Martie said, it is VERY common to see it...Just like Martie said, it is VERY common to see it here in Michigan...matter of fact, I probably see 2 or 3 dead deer DAILY on my 45 mile commute to and from work.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I have hit one and so has my husband.chesneygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01277804935625220924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-22702891985981114362007-04-04T12:32:00.000-04:002007-04-04T12:32:00.000-04:00They are a road hazard.

If you ever hit one, you will instantly give moral support to my hunting habit.<BR/><BR/>The fact that you haven't seen this until now makes me think that you may live in one of the few places where white tails are not overpopulated. Most states are extending deer seasons to control that problem.<BR/><BR/>Just curious, how do you know it was a doe?bigwhitehathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378526701377764387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15109540.post-15394808585056093062007-04-04T11:38:00.000-04:002007-04-04T11:38:00.000-04:00In southwest Michigan, dead deer in the road or al...In southwest Michigan, dead deer in the road or along side of the road are a common occurance. They can really mess a car or light truck up to the point of needing body work. We always have to be looking to the side of the roads when traveling at night for glowing eyes to alert us that deer are in the area and on the move! <BR/><BR/>I always feel sorry fot the ones that get hit!Martiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049225962948888764noreply@blogger.com
