I forget how many deer I've hit, it was either 33 or 37, plus 2 owls and a cow. (It was my cow I hit the one time I took my wifes mini-van to work and the cow was just over the crest of a hill on a snow covered road! No damage to plastic hood of van or the cow!) When you drive for a living in horrible weather, stuff happens. Some of those deer were in groups FWIW. I've never heard of anyone recommending "turning off the lights" and I'm not sure who would have the time to do that since most of my deer hits were split second affairs where they jumped in front of me out of no where. Most of the hits were at night while enroute to a call someplace, some were on blue bird days in the summer. I've avoided probably a thousand deer over the years by braking and by swerving when I could. All our Troop cars had the "deer whistles" on them for a few years. They made absolutely no difference in the number of deer hits we had- zilch, nada, zero! Complete waste of money IMO. I've tried to drill into my kids heads that if you see a deer on one side of the road, his buddy may well be on the other side and one of them will likely want to cross to the other. I can't think of too many people I know that haven't hit deer up here.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
