Scruit Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Bean-Oller Road does not intersect with 23. Did they mean 315? Or 257 (Riverside Drive)?http://g.co/maps/6hpwz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 ODOT actually released a statement earlier this week warning of accidents involving deer. Apparently the number of deer related accidents has been higher than normal this year. Be on the look out folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Yup, time to slow down on my dawn commute. Deer suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swingset Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 It infuriates me that the state won't open the season on deer. I know why, it's $$...licensing is a cash cow, but the blood of a lot of people are on the hands of the ODNR for keeping the deer numbers high needlessly. You can shoot groundhog year round, coyote, etc. Deer populations are in no danger of being impacted by deer being hunted heavier, and in fact a lot of good comes from that not only OUR safety but food from the kills, less crop damage, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DNR only cares about license fees, not what their deer do in property damage and human life. If I have a horse that gets out and causes a wreck, I am responsible. I think it's time that we start nailing DNR to the wall for the damage their %$^%$# deer do. They claim that the deer belong to the state. Well fess up and pay the damages your deer cause.Heck, I hate to even drive the truck after dark in fall.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I am with you Craig........and there is no doubt that it all boils down to money. Have folks pay a bit more for a no holds barred slaughter permit, and let them loose on the herds. Too many are also only interested in the big boys with racks, but the does are the real problem. I refuse to ride at dawn or dusk from Sept to mid November in this state, you are risking your life with all the wood rats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamNofR1 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 A lot of people ask me why I'm not riding when it's so nice out at night. This is the reason why. Deer are ALL OVER the place where I live. It sucks a big one not to ride when it's this nice out but I'm not going to risk it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Took a sizable doe a couple weeks ago............with my cbr600rr.Be careful out there I'm lucky to be alive.Did you post about it? Glad to see you're ok.What time of day? Were you awar of the deer before the hit (ie it was standing by the sde of the road then suddenly jumped out).What part of your gear took the worst of it? Is there any additional gear you wish you'd been wearing?Were you able to self-rescue or did others help?I'm getting more and more nervous about deer as my morning commute gets darker and darker...

ohiomike Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yeh, and lets hope the Ohio conservation department doesn't open the deer hunting seasons up any, like most other states have. Idiots they are. Can't figure the increased monies they will be getting, or the decrease in the number of deer out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swingset Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I nailed one last night on the way home from work, luckily in the car...8th one I've hit in my 41 years. Fuck.My only hit on the bike, believe it or not, was stopped at a crossroads and a deer ran into me sitting still and knocked me over. Still makes me laugh.

And the only extra gear I wished I had been wearing was leathers for my legs. I had minor rash on my legs. My helmet was split and jacket worn the worst of the elbows, shoulders, and upper back.

wantahertzdonut Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I had a resident doe hanging out in my yard back in the spring, and there's a herd that stays somewhere in my neighborhood. I'm in the suburbs! The numbers need to be taken down, there's too damn many out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
