Yes, they get one or two muleys almost every night along here. It was strange in an interesting way to have an eagle hanging around here for several days. Normally they are away from the highway. In that previous plot there is a spring about in the middle of that north twenty where a very large buck hangs with 15-20 of his group.
The virgin river is about 100 yards east and they all come down at night to water, cross the highway “deer in the headlights” and BAM. In 15 years I have only hit two.
I took out 4-5 jackrabbits on the road between Escalante and Bryce one night.
It was really weird; like they were WAITING for a vehicle to come along so they could commit suicide!
Here in Indiana, we had a fellow that was really worried about hitting deer; so he stopped at the store and got a pair of them there deer whistles ya put on yer bumper. He put ‘em on right in the parkin’ lot!
He only lived ‘bout 2 miles from the store; but before he got home, he’d hit 3 deer!!
The sheriff investigated and found he’d installed them blamed whistle things BACKWARD!
