Thursday evening I was headed home from the gym, going down a backroad just about 1.5 miles from the house. I was taking it slow, because the rut is just kicking in here and I occasionally see deer on this road. A good distance ahead, I see a spike buck in the road. I slowed down to a crawl, and he ran in the woods. I go ahead and continue down the road, but this deer had second thoughts and came out of the woods wide open and kamikazi'd straight into the passenger door of my jeep, committing suicide and converting himself from a spike to an antlerless buck. Now I have 2 dents in my door. Called FWC from right there, and they told me I could keep him. I figured, why not- no meat damage on this one. I just drove home, got the truck, and loaded him up. The real hoot is that I froze my butt off all morning hunting and got skunked, also this is the second deer I hit with my jeep this year. The good news is that I wasn't riding my motorcycle and I have the doors on my jeep since its winter.
