Default One very messy solution to the deer problem at Summit Point

Its messy and expensive and smells badly - but it sure does work

Holy deer, Batman. Unbelievable how that deer disintegrated. Best is that you are ok.

I was on the track at the same time when the red flags came out. After seeing the video...whew. Really glad the outcome was not any worse.

At the last SCCA /MARRS race they held us in the pits for 15 minutes to chase deer out of the carousel area. I like to think that I would scoot under a deer. The groundhogs worry me more than the deer.

What about the motorcycle racers? That's deadly.

"FN Deer" is right!... Glad those guys are OK. When does the Rut start this year? I might have to stay away from SP until it's over...

Yuk! Deer looked like it went about 20' in the air.

Maybe a good thing that the impact was on the front right side of the car rather than front center. My hit was front left, but the deer was smaller and I was probably going slower than you.

Yikes! I do not recommend venison in aerosol form much less the manufacturing process. I only had snot on my windshield and the memory of a very surprised look on the deer's face. Might need to get a thicker clear bra and some windshield tear-offs.

Or, we need more cabs and sunroofs for overwatch ride-alongs.
