Guy is road killing deer for profit (1 Viewer)

S.K.A.

S.K.A.

I saw a link to this guy's website on another board and it has really got my blood boiling. I'm not sure if this is legal or not, but it is completely unethical.

:mad:

 
"No animals were harmed in the creation of this website."

:goodposting:

Someone should turn him in if they can figure out his location (I didn't watch any of the videos).

 
This is pretty weird. I do know that in certain areas of the country the deer are way over populated and cause major problems. That said hitting them with your truck seems pretty "redneck."

The deer have to be pretty overpopulated in that area for him to have 300 kills - not a lot of people in Southern Illinois so there's probably tons of them there. I live right by a wildlife preserve where there's tons of these things and I doubt I could rack up 300 kills if I tried.
 
What if he were counting his squirrel or skunk kills, would people have a problem with it? What's so special about a deer?

 
I think there are better things to do with your time. Having said that I dont see a huge problem here. It does not look like he is hunting the deer. Looks like he built a bad ### truck and drives down the street. Watching the videos he is hitting deer that jump in front of him. He is not going out of his way to hit them. He must live in a very over populated spot.

 
I'm not a tree hugger and I'm not against hunting. Grew up and still live in Western PA where the first day of buck season is treated like a national holiday. But this is just weird and inhumane, IMO.

:thumbup: I doubt the deer that were hit felt anything though

the domain is registered to a dude a little north of St Louis. His name and addy/phone is there.

I don't see that, curious what exact area he's in. I often drive north from STL, going around Alton Ill., up to west of Springfield area, often taking country roads. Very wary of the deer from early fall thru December, anytime near dusk on thru the night. Tons of deer, plenty of near misses, but yet to hit one.He is correct about the crosses/motorcycle fatalities, etc. Last fall I believe there were 3 "deer-related" fatalities in 1 week within 20 miles of Alton.

I for one welcome our new cotton-tailed, jay-walking overlords.
 
deer have little to no natural predators anymore. they eat/trample crops (ate all my peaches :rant: ). they run out in front of cars, causing extensive repair bills. the guy claims he doesn't intentionally run into them...he just doesn't try to avoid them. :shrug:

 
I'll bite.

As long as they guy is not speeding off the roadways after these animals, as his tapes can probably confirm, I think he's doing the community a service. Hitting a deer with your car sucks and the animals have no fear these days.

 
When I was done burning the coal oil light, there was a dependable daily driver built like a Sherman tank. Ready for anything nature threw at me. It is a nice feeling to hit a deer at 55 mph and drive home with little to no damage. Some people will look down on this truck and me like a villain. Just take a second and think about it like this... Lets just say one of the roughly 300 deer I’ve hit, one or more could have come through somebody's windshield and take a innocent person's life... not to mention all the crosses I drive by everyday on the way to work. Several motorcyclists have been killed by -- you guessed it -- "deer." Don’t get me wrong, I’m not out for a Governor’s Life Saver award. But it does give you something to think about.Let’s just do a low vehicle estimate of the damage I have fincialy taken off of the insurance companies. Take 200 deer hits at $2500.00 a piece that’s roughly a half a million dollars. Insurance companies should buy a truck for guys like me and pay people to drive them up and down the road. I hope you purchase a video and see for yourself the carnage that can take place hitting deer. This video is not for everyone, but it is for you.

Deer are vastly overpopulated from STL all the way to the great lakes. Deer are third in kills behind Mosquitos and Humans on humans.

That and the mentality that killing bucks is the only reason to hunt among hunters is contributing to this problem.

Texas has a much better management system in place for this issue, but there are issues with it one that it is "elitist", but fact is that it works. Deer deaths in Texas are from what I have heard were trending in the right direction.

We need more people shooting the does mainly.

What that guy is doing is not cool at all. Is it worse to roadkill a deer for profit or roadkill a deer for this?

Exactly how is this guy profiting?

The guy is the OP's story? Yeah, I don't know how he's profiting. The linked videos wouldn't open so I took the OP at his word. I just checked out Deer's Gone Wild (ridiculous) and it looks like this dude is just a sick ####, and is not doing it for profit.The guy in the above link is just a sick #### period.
