Triumph vs deer

What is it they say about payback?

Deer totaled the front end of my TR2 here in California around 10 years ago. They're a total plague here on the central coast of Calif. Over $6500. in damage, at 2002 prices. The bloody thing made a mess of all panels on the car except the two right fenders and door. Everything else damaged or destroyed. I'm still driving the TR with a very ugly appearance (mis-shapen panels and a brush-paint job), because I've never had the time to do a full restoration on the body, and of course the car is known to me and friends as the DeerMobile.

Vermin! General suggestions are:

1. Year-round hunting season, with no limit on the take, and no restrictions on methods.
2. Use of venison to replace outside-purchased meat at state/county/local jails. Would save funds and clean-up the ecosystem of a species that has populated the country far beyond its real niche.

Tom- glad that worked out for you both and your TR - I've seen many cars ruined when they hit them full on.

We're covered up in deer in my yard (1 buck, 3 doe, 3 fawns), and I live in town on a four lane thoroughfare. I have watched one of the does w/2 fawns walk to the hiding behind the hedge, peek around the end of it, and when the road was clear, tell the kids to go and they all crossed the road without drama. Have never seen a deer in the road in town. Guess they have learned to adapt.
