Doesn't seem to be anyone immune to this particular hazard anymore. By the way it was a doctor who was first on the scene of my recent deer encounter. I am sorry to hear of Dr. vartags passing, I am sure she will be remembered as a good samaritan. Me? Still need additional surgery before I will be riding again. But I will be riding, you can bet on it. -- Jim Stinnett VTR1000 R1100RS YZF R1 NX250 http://moto-rama.com

A friend of mine called last fall about a road kill nearby from the night before. Found it and grabbed the back legs to drag it to my car and it started kicking. The cop dispatched and I had REALLY fresh roadkill.

Used to, the DPS or Park Rangers had a call list to contact people to pick up road killed deer, or deer shot by poachers. They don't do that any more. Now, even if you hit a deer yourself, you can't pick it up. They go to the nearest landfill. What a waste. -- Sunny Williams sunny will at tx vets period org IRPK, ISRA #7123, Deerslayers Director/Webmaster for Texas Veterans Assoc., Chapter 3 http://www.txvets.org/ "... if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ~Teddy Roosevelt |
