Expensive Venison
Although I think I was supposed to deliver or at least report the carcass to Fish and Game I didnt want to be driving around before opening day with a dead buck in the bed. So I only stopped long enough to show my boys some "field expedient game dressing". Ironically, Bow season just opened here in California and we were heading up to do some pre-rifle season scouting/camping trip for the labor day weekend. Turned out to a very expensive trip as the horns of that nice buck went right through the A/c condenser-radiator I was very lucky it didnt go any further. It also smashed the hell outta that chrome thing Dodge calls a bumper, all the plastic fascia, the fog light and the drivers side headlight. The carcass was pretty messed up as he went under the left rear wheel AND the 2 wheels of the utility trailer I was towing. (It smashed the hell outta the trailer fender too). BTW, anyone know what the law is on roadkill? I've never really thought about it but it sure seems like an awful waste to just leave it there...
The worst thing is, I KNOW I wont see a buck like this during the season.....
