Sometimes I wonder if deer aren't part of the rodent family. Big cute stupid rats. All you gotta do to hunt deer at my place is to walk outside with a hammer.
LOL! Yeah, I don't see them as particularly bright. But, maybe I just have some 'animal magnetism' of sorts. A couple of weeks ago I was riding on a remote area of our property in our RTV1100 and was driving through some tall grass and brush that was considerably taller than the roof. I was just creeping along since I couldn't see anything past the hood of the RTV. We pushed through into a clearing and came upon about 5 or 6 absolutely HUGE wild turkeys. There is no way they didn't hear me coming. Anyway, they scattered off to one side into tall brush...except for one particularly dumb one. It took off zig zagging in a dead run and ran right smack into the front of the RTV! What a dumb bird! It made a considerable "clunk" when it hit but got right back up and finally ran off into the brush.
I didn't have time to get the camera out (but was trying) to get a picture but my kids sure got to cackling about how stupid it was. I thought my eight year old son was going to throw up he was laughing so hard! He is still telling everybody about the stupid turkeys we have. How big do those things get anyway? Sitting in the RTV it's head was higher than the hood because we saw it's face as it ran into us. Man are those things ugly up close! It had one heck of a 'beard' that was white and red for the most part. It looked like it would weigh over 30 pounds!
