Title: Deer hit by truck.... that was riding my ass. What to do?
Post by: kerrdog on May 02, 2011, 02:54:45 PM: I'm coming down from Klickitat (Turkey Hunting) and this guy behind me wants to haul ass. I don't drive slow...or fast. I'm a grown-ass-man. I notice a large deer standing on the side of the road so I slow down a little and swerve over to miss it. As I get past the deer I look in my rear view mirror and SLAM! Speedy boy slams the deer in the hindquarters (with his jacked-up truck), spinning the deer around and down into the ditch. Then he hit the brakes and stopped. :yike:

I kept driving. Should I have stayed in case I had a chance to tell authorities that this happened because this young man (boy) was tailgating me? Aggressive drivers aggravate me. :bash: It's almost always young men and women of any age. :dunno:

The only thing you may have done different is go back and see if the deer needed dispatched (even though it would be illegal for you to do, it may be the right thing to do); you probably wouldn't care about whether or not the guy's truck was still drivable since he had been riding your ass.

No. He was already acting erratically. Maybe a call to the cops would've been good.

Of course, he probably blaming it on the deer and not himself...
