Watch what happens when this deer tries to jump a High Fence
We've all heard of, or maybe even seen a deer leap over a fence that seems way too high like it was nothing. Unfortunately, it doesn't always turn out that way. A driver was filming three does running on the side of a country road when she got this clip.
In the video, the three does try and make a break for it by going across the road and jumping over a high fence. The first doe to give it a go hits the fence about half way up in such a way that it turns into a catapult launching him into backwards into the air. See it here.
Deer are such graceful animals. Until they’re not. Then I am usually filling out a police report while the tow truck driver is trying to hook up my car around semi -congealed deer guts.

Those poor critter.
Don’t fence me in.
Did Donald Trump build that fence?
Noticed that, also. Deer trauma. Not funny. Venison in my freezer, excellent.
Did Donald Trump build that fence?”
Yes and the deer paid for it!

or is it - DOE!
They may be graceful, but they make terrible mistakes.
Every year we have to repair pasture fencing where the wires are pushed down and twisted. Couple years ago one got tangled up and died. The wires were cut, then carried off with a loader to the open pasture. After a couple days all that’s left is maybe the skull and some fur. The coyotes, buzzards, eagles and others make short work of it. Whats left after a week or so is just some fur blowing around.
I seem to have leveled off at 4. Actually that fourth was already dead when I ran it over, so maybe that one didn’t count.
That counts as a half deer. The one that I “just ran over” cost me a new radiator, support and trans intercooler. “Just ran over” counts to my insurance agency, thank God.

True story... I’m in the office on a Saturday morning at about 11 o’clock when my 17 year old daughter calls with panic in her voice “Dad...you need to come home right away! There was this big crash and thump and our whole house shook!” I asked her a few questions to try to understand the nature of what she was saying as I’m wondering whether the furnace blew up, whether someone backed a car into the wall at the garage or what... then drove the 10 minutes home. First I run into the house and don’t find anything amiss. Then I go outside where I notice a trail of hoof marks across the front yard that strangely disappear as they approach the house. Looking up, I notice that some of my new shingles have some upturned edges. Racing around to the back of the house, sure enough.... Right in line with where the hoof marks disappeared at the front of the house, there was a bit of an ‘animal skid mark’ and then hoof marks continued across the back yard and disappeared on to my neighbour’s property. Walking over to see ‘Marge’, she meets me in the back yard and says “Say, did you see that big buck that came dashing through here about 10 minutes ago?” We live in a single storey split level house and in one location at the front because of how the landscaping is done, the distance from the ground to the eaves trough is about 8 feet.
Boy-oy-oy-oy-oing.
Up on the rooftop, click-click-click.......

“Okay Ralph, that didn’t work, let’s go this way!”
At least they had the sense to give up and turn around.
