	[QUOTE=DavMar]Jato, by chance do you have a crash bar on the front of your F150 and enjoy road kill tenderloin? Negatory, Do remember however that the older trucks had real metal chrome bumpers, the thickness on my front bumpers is just a tad over 1/8". Road kill tenderloin, yes, there have been a few instances where it was very enjoyable but usually after it hits the bumper and goes down, the truck then proceeds to run it over with the front and then back tire, sometimes it gets caught by the pig on the rear axle for extra tenderizing, rendering the whole thing unusable.

	Even then, you're at least helping thin the herd. I don't know how it is in your area, but in the mid atlantic deer are now so over populated that they are causing severe forest damage. And its natural selection in action, truly a matter of the quick vs. the dead

	Very true. We reside on a narrow strip of land about 2 miles wide between Lake Michigan and Torch Lake which is home to a lot of apple, cherry, and grape orchards, as well as golf courses. On the way to work, I will leave the truck in 3rd gear (manual stick shift) and go 30-35 mph for my 4.5 mile trip. Even at that speed I have already hit 3 deer this year and it is quite normal each morning to make 1 panic stop as well as seeing quite a number of deer playing chicken at several different locations. Way to many around here, at least the farmers are given block permits to thin the herd, but there are still too many.
