How crazy is this?

[nc dawg]

This is the craziest thing I've ever seen! This is the Hwy 25 bridge over Spartanburg Hwy 176.. (Henderson county N.C.). These 6 deer freaked out, panicking they ran out on the bridge and literally jumped off into oncoming traffic. How sad. Two of these would have been nice bucks next year. ?

Wow! I guess they felt trapped & jumped Never seen anything like it..

 

[nc dawg]

Speed limit from where they jumped is 65, so I guess they walked out on bridge and a vehicle come up on em pretty fast and spooked over em the side

Man, that's crazy! What a shame. Is that the Zirconia exit? I'm usually going through there about once a month.

 

[nc dawg]

Yep..

 

[NCHillbilly]

Can you imagine driving down the road and six deer come falling from the heavens in front of you?

You know that’s what I tried to tell the rabbit sheriff when he pulled me over and started counting heads! He wouldn’t buy it.

Reminds me of native Americans running/funneling herds of game off of a cliff. Big payday...

 

[jhanie79]

[treadwell]

[antharper]

[JustUs4All]

My FIL is a train engineer for CSX railroad and has driven trains all over the country. He told me people would be shocked how often trains hit deer. They will honk at them but not much they can do. He said in farm country in the midwest he has hit some absolute studs but stopping a train going 55 mph that is 1.5 miles long isn't practical. In the south train easements are big. However in the midwest easements might only be 5' and farmers will plant corn 5' from the track and the deer will just step out into oncoming train.

I would have been loading a few up.

Eh.....anyone hurt?

Saw a black bear jump off a bridge over the Big Hole River one night in Montana.
Bridge was high, water was very shallow with lots of rocks. Went back next day for a look see. No bear to be found. Had to be a rough landing though.
