That is all well and good, but when I hit mine it just put a slight ding in my factory bumper... and spun into my wheel well.
Not to mention those overbuilt bumpers are great for killing other people in car wrecks as well, I would rather pay for bodywork than try to sleep with that at night.
[quote:7b2367217e="ericlb"](quoted from post at 04:32:03 09/05/08) yep but thats because the farmer who owns the livestock is available to be summoned into court and sued,so modern sue crazy people do just that never caring that the money they might win from the farmer will destroy what he built for himself with a lifetime of work , they just want that new beach house, nobody owns the deer, well i guess god does, the problem with sueing god is its a little hard to find somebody willing to deliver the court summons to him, since apparently you got to be dead to see him,
If you kill a deer without a permit, the govt can fine you, imprison you, and take away anything you used to harvest said deer (gun, bow, truck...) It is rediculous as there are more deer in the country now than when Columbus landed here hundreds of years ago, we could stand to lose more than a couple.
It seems to me they would really like to have all the perks of owning them, aside from the liablity.
But if I hit a cow, I won't go suing for a beach house or anything, but I do think it is fair to get my truck fixed and any injuries taken care of by the cow owner. I think the same rules should apply for deer since they are such a controlled critter. Even a partial payment or something would be better than nothing.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
