I was driving home from my monthly sportsman club meeting and hit a doe going 75mph. Damn thing flew 8ft in the air, higher than my truck, and went about 70yards through the air down the highway. Dented my bumper something fierce. Deer hair and turds all over the bumper. WTF. Bad luck for Jiggie. Im murdering as many deer as I can this fall. Head shots only, bow, rifle, sling shot, i dont care.
 
Re: i just saw a flying deer

Yeah, I hit a deer a few years ago. I was riding a Honda Goldwing doing about 65mph at like 0630 in the morning, up in Northern Wisconsin. The deer came out of no where, ran out of a guys front yard, and was in mid stride across my front fender when our trajectories collided. I was lucky to walk away from what was left after the crash. The insurance company wrote the bike off as a total loss (my good luck). Not much left of the deer.

Stay safe out there

No actually deer hop 8' all the time; my mother put a 6' high fence around her vegetable garden (Pocono Mt.,PA) to keep deer out - definitely not high enough..

Tried to find the vid of Ron White with his Deer hunting story, you'll just have to read it instead:

"Well, it was 4 in the mornin'. 22 degrees outside. 'Course, you weren't there...pussy. I'm in a camouflage deer blind, I got grease paint on my face, I had deer urine on my boots—I'm not sure why [as himself] I made that part up. [returns to imitating Ray] I've got a .30-06 rifle that can fire a bullet at 2500 feet per second. When that deer looked up to lick the salt lure I'd hung from the danged ol' tree, I caught him right above the eye." And I'm going, "Yeah? Well, I hit one with a van, goin' 55 miles an hour, with the headlights on and the horn blowin'!" Woo, that's an elusive little creature! If you ever miss one, it's because the bullet's moving too fast. I'll tell you what- slow the bullet down to 55 miles an hour, put some headlights and a little horn on it, the deer will actually jump in front of the bullet!
