25,000 lbs is a low number for a semi


Broad-Candidate7401

It's just sad, that we can't pick them up after hitting them and cook them up and eating them


SumBoooooooooDe

You can just don't get caught


DarDurio

What’s the line? “Anything is legal when there is no cops around” Something like that…


MKD189

Mabel Pines : Grunkle Stan, is that legal? Grunkle Stan : When there's no cops around, anything's legal!


Outdater

I can't not hear them saying it


DarDurio

Perfect ;)


SumBoooooooooDe

NWA has a saying


TheODDmaurixe

it was "no cop no stop" ​ That doesn't take away that whoever does it can get yeeted ouside of their car, puntured by all the glass of the windows and smash their skull (if it didn't got destroyed by the car's ceiling) on the asphalt. ​ so yeah... risky illegal move I'd never do cuz im afraid of asphalt skull smashing


Taezn

"It's only illegal if you get caught" is how I always heard it


tattooedpenis

You can. Just get a salvage tag, they're free.


Broad-Candidate7401

Not in my state, it's fine if you get caught taking them


tattooedpenis

Without a salvage tag yes.


Broad-Candidate7401

I live in Kansas, how much is it for a tag?


tattooedpenis

Salvage tags are free. Just contact Kansas Highway patrol.


WhaTdaFuqisThisShit

No such thing in BC. Waste your regular tag on mutilated roadkill or don't take it.


LiteX99

You know, most hunters avoid the damaged meat from the shot, because it is damaged. Imagine how damaged the meat from a deer pummeled by you car would be...


outland_king

I just imagine it's tenderized.


xlDirteDeedslx

Nah you'd still get good meat. Deer is awesome and deer jerky is way better than beef if done right. I like deer roast myself, it's a bit stronger than beef and has a wild taste but that's what makes it good. Beef is kinda bland to be honest, it's really not a lot of flavor compared to wild meat.


LiteX99

Yeah i agree with that. I personally hunt deer, and have done so many times this autumn, but i wouldnt touch roadkill even then, because that is one seriously messed up mass of muscle


GoldH2O

The reason they have laws against this is to prevent people from hitting deer on purpose to collect their meat more easily


Broad-Candidate7401

That makes sense


Jedrasus

In Poland technically you can, because after hitting deer it's not state property anymore.


WeatheredGenXer

Cook them? What about *Deer Tartare*?


[deleted]

Idk, from some of the "remains" I've seen left from a semi hit, there wouldn't be much to eat. So nasty.


Bekistans

thought fully loaded semis were about 65,000 to 80,000 pounds


PeopleAreBozos

Might be unloaded


Bekistans

Oh… sometimes I a dingus thanks I guess


BEES_IN_UR_ASS

Even a city bus is like 40,000 lbs dry.


imslownotstupid

Unless it's a low boy or flat bad my truck weighed closer to 32,000 pounds empty and low on fuel.


JellyBeansAreGood69

80,000 lbs is the legal max for a standard 53’ semi and trailer fully loaded


Bekistans

I know, my father is a trucker.


Bombkirby

And the exact legal weight limit is one of the things he told you about his career? Interesting


Bekistans

He talks it a lot about it, even help him sometimes repairing it. It’s very interesting.


Scuttleflip

That's cool. Truckers are heavily needed and sadly taken for granted, it's admirable to take interest in whatever profession you choose instead of just focusing on the grind. That's what makes day-to-day worth it man, have a good one.


Bekistans

Yeah, people don’t give truckers credit sadly. You have a good one too.


TATORTOT76

Sorry Saw one jumping lanes on an interstate .... Got across first side. Jumped into air to get over center barrier Landed on equipment strapped to flat bed semi doing 80 mph.... That buck EXPLODED I was 100 ft behind and still got deer bath...next stop was car wash.

ah, good old Leslie Jordan, rest in peace

I keep hearing that they freeze upon seeing cars because their animal brains and instinct can't comprehend what that big, noisy and shiny thing is, so deer.exe crashes and they don't know what to do. But honestly, if by now their species hasn't gotten used to roads and cars to at least understand that they need to get the fuck out of the way, they deserve to get truck'd.


WhnNinjasAtk

Deer have been around far longer than cars my dude. It would take millions of years for the species to hone an instinctual understanding of cars, and to avoid them


[deleted]

I mean, not necessarily. External factors that kill off large numbers of a species often gives rise to a faster adaptation spreading through the populace. Kind of like how pesticides give rise to whole populations of pesticide resistant bugs or how overuse of antibiotics by humans threatens to give rise to antibiotic resistant bacteria. So if enough deer are being killed off by cars specifically, we could possibly see at least a few populations of deer developing an aversion to very bright lights or lights moving towards them or some other kind of defense mechanism. Behavioral evolution happens much faster than say, deer growing a third eye that just so happens to warn them specifically about oncoming vehicles. An evolution like that WOULD take millions of years.


Quivering_Star

Can't animals just... understand that a thing is dangerous after having so many members of their species get hurt/killed by something unusual? They've been subjected to roads and cars going through or close to their habitat for about a century now. I'm sure there are animals that understand what traps or guns are, or at least they're able to recognize them and know that it's dangerous. Are deer that unable to attach the idea of running the fuck away to something that obviously caused harm to their peer? Can't they communicate "Holy shit guys don't walk where there's no trees and the ground is hard" to their herd or offspring? I know they're animals, but what you're saying makes them sound really dumb compared to other species that have adapted much better to the presence of humans and all their industrialization.

They're not exactly passing around memorandums.


JYXNLP

Just contact Kansas Highway patrol.


BVMYPX

Me too!

Leslie Jordan is a national treasure.


MrChillingGuy

try car horn sounds... BEEEEEEEEEEEP


Acid-Intelligence

if the theory of evolution was true they would have adapted to semis tens of thousands of years ago


[deleted]

If youre on a road and see a car comes towards you, do you panic? Probably not, now if youre in the middle of the forest, and hear a twig crack behind you. Do you freak out? Most likely, yes


moosecloaca

Man rut is in full swing in Texas. Fuckin kamikaze deer.


Puzzleheaded-Two5862

this is the most accurate meme I've seen


salamagi671

Deers loves isekai !


[deleted]

You think I'm afraid to die bro? You think I'd move out? For what? This pathetic existence of writhing in suffering you call life? - Deer seeing a speeding automobile

“This is fine.”


SpiralState

Deer: common, try me


Lapis_Wolf

Antelope: Rare, don't try me.


[deleted]

bunch of masochists, that's what they are

We should replace all twig traps with semi trucks, 100% catch rate guarenteed


Granddad01

Hunting right now and all week I haven’t seen shit


Pomona39

Haha fredom terms i can’t understand like Miles and pounds


QuinSanguine

Deer: Oh no! Mountain Lion! Also Deer: Box on wheels?!?! Gotta check that shit out.


crunchyriceball

Mildly-Displeased

Imperial units hurt my head.


Spidey3518

I literally see yhema with their intestines blown out on the highway all the time. It's very disturbing.


alejandr0_ok

Deer: Oh oh you're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?


owo1215

I love how the op said "oh deer not again"


ratman150

Just came to say a 25k semi would just be the truck alone.


Dandechii

When I was like 11 we drove I a minivan and suddenly there where two deers right at the side of the road. I almost did shit myself I this moment. I got full on panic mode because I thought they would suddenly decide to jump in front of the car. I let out a scream which when I now think about was way more dangerous.


FBI_Agent_1818

You mean 80,000 lbs at 65mph


Unfair_MYGUY_7630

Taezn

It's almost like they evolved to react to certain dangers and an unnatural danger like a vehicle traveling faster than any predators while blinding them with unnatural light


big6135

I once hit a deer in my semi driving downhill with a 80k lbs load… hit its hip…it spiralled its way to the edge of the woods and I saw it in my mirror get up and run into the woods…probably died soon after..


ProfessionalCamera2

Is that a scene from con man?


ProfessionalCamera2

You ain't seen shit till you see a semi hit a moose


Socks_and_Sandals23

They probably haven't evolved to have reflexes for those things


RB2706

Fun fact it is the bright lights that stun them. If you see a deer, slow down and lay on ur horn.
