So I give the Cougar a Bath before I head out, due to some bird crap on my windsheld :disgust: anyways pick up my buddy and a couple of my girls friends (my girl couldnt go out tonight) anyways go out to a pub have a blast, then we head out to humptys later. On my way to drop off the girls I see a deer right beside the road..slam on the breaks (in case he jumps out..and theres always more that one) and honk my horn rolling at like 15km/hr. as we roll by honking I see another 5-7 deer everywhere. So yeah we roll on by drop them off, going to drop off my buddy (he mentions a porkipine (?spelling?) walking up a coulie.
BS a bit he goes in and I start to head home (still a little paranoid about deer and stuff) driving down Bridge drive, i see a porkipine waddeling slowly across the other lane and into the ditch, so yeah slowed down for him, then sped back up to the speed limit.
Come around the bend in Bridge Drive, I see something in the middle of the road..just sitting there. slow down a bit.(thinking it was a cat) then i get closer and its not moving, then I slam on the breaks to an almost complete stop about 5 feet from this Owl??(very weird..:crazy:)..then it just flys away.
Last animal encounter of the night I hit a set of traffic lights, i turn into the left hand turnning lane. Look up and theres a deer just walking around by Gas King. No problems but just VERY WEIRD!!!
I swear thoes animals are out to get me and the Cougar or something

Ha ha. It's called living in the country. I remember "tapping" a deer in a my Probe. I hit it going like 1mph and it layed on my hood, fell over, got up and ran off.
I've also hit enough raccoons in that thing to have me set for life. Haven't had a problem with the coug though.

I was in the CITY of cincinnati around 1130pm and saw a deer trotting down the middle of the road. I pulled up next to him to get a good look. He veered over to the left lane a little more to stay back, but kept on trucking down the street.
I also saw another at a different time in the morning around 8 am also cruising down the middle of a road.
It just not the country.

He's too busy revving on every cow, duck, pig or chicken in sight to worry about details Wade.
One night when I was 17, my friends and I were out being ignorant, driving around, just going exploring. We ended up out in the middle of fecking nowhere, the four of us and my '94 Thunderbird. It was about 1:00 or so and we were actually thinking about bagging it for the night, so we turned on to the two-lane highway to start the trek home.
As we're driving, we came to a section of the road where it kinda dipped, and there were also a bunch of trees right by the side of the road, blocking the moonlight, so it was extra dark. As I went through the dip, I thought I saw something out in the other lane, but I didn't really think anything of it, figuring I was just imagining things.
My friends also thought they saw something, and one of them swore up and down it was a cow. I said there was no ****ing way a cow was just running loose in the middle of the road because there weren't any farms for miles. Still, my friends wanted to see what the crap it was, so I turned around and headed back there, approaching the dark spot slowly. Low and ****ing behold, my headlight shine upon a black and white spotted cow, standing in the middle of the road, staring back at me with a dumb look on his face.
We all got a good laugh out of the fact there was a cow standing in the middle of the road (though had it been standing in the other lane, we probably would have died or at least been hurt in an accident) and one of my friends leaned up from the back seat and honked my horn at the cow.
The cow didn't like this too much, as it turned and took off down the road. We followed it for three or four miles, honking at it all the way, laughing our balls off, until the cow finally found a driveway and turned in to it and ran behind a section of open fence. :rofl:
To this day we still get a kick out of that story.

I HATE raccoons :disgust: I've hit two of them in my cougar, not at once on seperate occasions. The first one took out my left fog light and the thing that covers/protects under the engine, the next one took out my right fog light and my radiator, that was a fun few miles drive home, driving for like a few mins, stopping for 15+ and repeating. This was while I lived in illinois and wisconsin, its nice out there but backroads SUCK.
