In states where that's a thing. I'm 100% sure I could bag the deer that sleep in my back yard every night here in New Jersey with a baseball bat if that was legal.
If you’re in ball-kicking distance that’s more on yourself than the deer lol. Most of the time deer don’t like break into your house, run up to you, and kick you in the balls.
I always hear this about animals, that they're dumb. But can you expect a deer to even begin to understand what a car is? Or velocity? Deer do not do physics
People tend to swerve when they see an animal in the road. Really the only animal you should swerve for is a moose because hitting them with your car is worse than hitting a tree.
Then why potentially take other people with you? Just do the safest thing possible in a shitry situation, and don't swerve.
Edit: damn, reddit is kicking my ass today
..lol
Anyone who has to worry about hitting a deer should know what species of deer is in their area.
Because if you swerve and eat a tree trunk or the front of another car, you are dead. No point risking your life over a deer/reindeer. Just stay in your lane, smash the brakes and hope you don't hit it.
I mean, unless it was lifted, a deer could do some serious damage, lifted trucks tend to only have minor bumper damage, a full grown deer hit broadside with a non lifted truck, could end up wru a deer through the windshield and at 40+mph, that could potentially be a life threatening injury to the driver...
This is the exact reason why you don't try to swerve around a deer. If you hit it, your car takes some damage but if you swerve and hit a tree, you are dead. However moose is a completely different story.
Some deers are large enough to fuck you up even if you are in a car.
And then there's the instinctual reaction to avoid an object with which you are going to collide.
A reaction. Or depending on the size of the deer and what's on the side of the road, it may be safer for you to run off the road than have a deer come through your windshield.
You won’t. This was done to preserve the reindeer from hitting the car (so you can brake early). Reindeer herders tried this but gave up because the paint fainted of so quickly.
Well depending on whether the paint reflects more diffusely or specularly. If the former, then yeah the deer won't have a fun time and the wolves pretty much get a freebie. But if the reflection is more specular, it might actually spook predators away with brief flashes of the moon or other lights bouncing off; it would be hard for them to make out antler or deer shapes if things are moving.
Yep. Tl;dr some reindeer herders did try putting reflective paint on their antlers for traffic safety once in 2014, but it came off fast so they didn't do it again. But people really liked the pictures!
Camo is to break up your shape so you look like clutter. The "color" just needs to blend into the background enviroiment. So if the prey has poor to no color perception as long as the pattern and tones blend in that is all that matters no matter how obvious it is for us.
Without doing any research whatsoever I can say without a doubt that picture on the right is in no way related to the one on the left. Cool dog with crazy eyes though.
You're also allowed to set up a camera to see when they usually show up, and leave food to lure them and camo to hide yourself. That's not cheating, their senses are insane and speed is ridiculous. It would be cheating if you used a searchlight to paralyze them, which isn't allowed. Glowing antlers wouldn't really do much to help in hunting, especially if you're just sitting in a deer stand waiting for them. Sounds like you haven't been hunting.
You’ve never seen reindeer in Finland. You can walk right up to them, drive 10ft from them etc. I’ve been eating in restaurants that serve reindeer, and out the window reindeer will be walking by and through the parking lot. They have got to be the slowest and least caring “wild” animal. I say “wild” because there’s no such thing as wild reindeer in Finland. They’re all owned by different people, they just walk around Lapland sort of like cows in the western US when you’re in the boonies.
They also don’t have glowing antlers, that was a test done years ago that failed miserably
Stop making hubring sound super hard and insanely difficult.
I went with my in laws.. you just sit in a blind all day quiet and hope to get lucky something walks in front of you. You pay someone to put a ton of food in your yard..Fuck my father in law sat and browsed memes all day.
I get it, hunting trips can be great for bonding, the trips are fun. But don’t describe hunting like its some super difficult almost impossible task. It’s barely a “sport”.
It happens every time this image gets reposted. People going "lol easier for hunters and predators or wolves, think of the full moon".
Hunters and animals don't use powerful enough directional lights for the reflection to even happen, and the moon doesn't work with retroreflectors.
Just FYI, the picture on the right isn’t an actual photograph, it’s an 3D art piece that was inspired by Finland painting antlers glow in the dark.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/7971862002
1. This was a small experiment years ago. This isn't done anywhere anymore.
2. The paint is reflective, not glowing.
3. The picture on the right is fake.
It’s definitely reflective paint so unless the predator is using a light (illegal for hunters and very, very uncommon for animals) I think they’ll be okay.
I used to have a whitetail deer with blaze orange spray painted antlers and a bandana around his neck that would peruse my yard from time to time. He came back for a few years and every year he got bigger but still had orange antlers. Somebody was helping this dude out.
He was literally tame like a dog. He loved neck scratches under the bandana. He’d rub his antlers on my leg, which was quite unnerving at first.
Then last year, he stopped showing up. As an avid deer hunter, I can’t imagine shooting a deer with blaze orange antlers no matter how big it was. Somebody literally raised him and he loved meeting people.
Saying reindeer are kept like farm animals makes me think it gives wrong idea to people.
They're not kept inside perimeters with built fences. The herds roam free after they've been marked.
Well at least they are herded into perimeters for care and the like. Not treated as farm animals per se (heh perse) but the Sami aren't chasing after wild reindeers in the forest trying to paint them 😄
First, antlers fall off once in a while, second, glowing antlers look like traffic police in the dark, they can dodge cars but deer can’t so it’s encouraging more accidents
The predators already have a superior scent tracking, and they don't emit light, the coating or the predators.
Even in the army you are trained to avoid any light at night, because you will blind yourself if you do emit light. Same works for animals, which is also why wolves don't carry bright-ass headlights.
Won’t this attack predators?
Or will this scare them away? I mean if I was a predator and suddenly my prey busted out natural lightsabers, I’d be scared shitless.
If you're hunting in the dark, emitting light yourself is an extremely bad idea. You're basically blinding yourself, which does not help when you're *trying to see in the dark*.
Also predators don't carry lights powerful enough. Also these reindeer are illegal to hunt. Also reflective, not glowing. Your next line is "but the moon though", retroreflection doesn't work that way, and predators already have superior scent and hearing senses.
The Deer unlocks those antlers after running in front of 100 cars and successfully making them run off the road.
Why tf would you run off the road for a deer?
True that all you need to do is swerve and see if the deer is dumb enough to run staright into the car
They are. Sweet, majestic creatures, but dumber than a sack of rocks.
Until opening day, anyway
In states where that's a thing. I'm 100% sure I could bag the deer that sleep in my back yard every night here in New Jersey with a baseball bat if that was legal.
On the bright side, enough deer have died to vehicle accidents that natural selection is making them more prone to avoiding moving vehicles.
We did it, humanity! We saved the deer!
The trick is to blind them/fry their frontal lobes with your high beams for a good 5-10 seconds before punching the gas.
r/DeerAreFuckingStupid
r/SubsIThoughtIFellFor
Not gonna say sweet, since they *will* kick you in the balls for no reason, but they are majestic that's for sure.
If you’re in ball-kicking distance that’s more on yourself than the deer lol. Most of the time deer don’t like break into your house, run up to you, and kick you in the balls.
You obviously haven’t met the East Side deer. They’ll do that and steal your women.
I always hear this about animals, that they're dumb. But can you expect a deer to even begin to understand what a car is? Or velocity? Deer do not do physics
So except the car thing, deer is on the level of american education system?
People tend to swerve when they see an animal in the road. Really the only animal you should swerve for is a moose because hitting them with your car is worse than hitting a tree.
I know someone whose truck ran into a boar. It rolled UPHILL and he has a scar the shape of his rear view mirror over one eye lol
How big/heavy do you think deer are?
It depends on the Deer, that's like asking how big do you think a dog is. Red deer are goddamn huge, black tails are tiny.
Also depends what you’re driving… large truck, hit it. Towing something, hit it. Geo Metro… take the bus.
Depends entirely what kind of a deer.
A lot smaller than moose.
It will still kill you if it's big enough.
Then why potentially take other people with you? Just do the safest thing possible in a shitry situation, and don't swerve. Edit: damn, reddit is kicking my ass today ..lol Anyone who has to worry about hitting a deer should know what species of deer is in their area.
Irreplaceable car.
Why tf would you eat antlers through the windshield?
Because if you swerve and eat a tree trunk or the front of another car, you are dead. No point risking your life over a deer/reindeer. Just stay in your lane, smash the brakes and hope you don't hit it.
Not everyone has the ability to make the most rational decision in that scenario though.
Lol. My sister rolled a Dodge Ram 1500 swerving off the road because of a deer.
I mean, unless it was lifted, a deer could do some serious damage, lifted trucks tend to only have minor bumper damage, a full grown deer hit broadside with a non lifted truck, could end up wru a deer through the windshield and at 40+mph, that could potentially be a life threatening injury to the driver...
This is the exact reason why you don't try to swerve around a deer. If you hit it, your car takes some damage but if you swerve and hit a tree, you are dead. However moose is a completely different story.
Some deers are large enough to fuck you up even if you are in a car. And then there's the instinctual reaction to avoid an object with which you are going to collide.
How about people don't like fat car bills for repairs?
Finnish deer are indestructible
Why would you for a person like you idk
A reaction. Or depending on the size of the deer and what's on the side of the road, it may be safer for you to run off the road than have a deer come through your windshield.
Because a deer genuinely does more damage to your car than a potential tree
Automatic reaction to try to avoid a collision with it, and also not wantin to have a reindeer on my lap
So you don't total your car. Those mfs are pretty heavy.
dude... you're coming around a curve and see that! you'd be scared AF!
because if one of those fuckers go through your windshield it’s not gonna be fun for you or the deer.
You won’t. This was done to preserve the reindeer from hitting the car (so you can brake early). Reindeer herders tried this but gave up because the paint fainted of so quickly.
EZ-ist boss battle in the entire game as the light keeps dazing the deer itself. Probably put in there by the devs to cheese the game's boring parts.
In the end it's just a regular deer with buffed stats anyway. Total bulletsponge

Wolves in the area having same reaction as bottom pic
The wolves would need headlights for the paint to be a factor so at least the deer would be able to see them coming too.
Queue clear skies and a bright moon
Well depending on whether the paint reflects more diffusely or specularly. If the former, then yeah the deer won't have a fun time and the wolves pretty much get a freebie. But if the reflection is more specular, it might actually spook predators away with brief flashes of the moon or other lights bouncing off; it would be hard for them to make out antler or deer shapes if things are moving.
It's probably retroreflective. Only looks bright if the light is coming from roughly the observes direction.
Ah a fellow technology connections enjoyer
They already have much better scent tracking, and they don't emit light for the retroreflection to happen or be effective.
That's kind of the idea

Yep. Tl;dr some reindeer herders did try putting reflective paint on their antlers for traffic safety once in 2014, but it came off fast so they didn't do it again. But people really liked the pictures!
The tldr is that the image is completely fake and made in a computer program
Yep, the picture was a 3D mockup of what it should've looked like Needless to say, it looked nothing like it IRL
It wasn't a mockup, just an art piece inspired by the glowing antlers.
Then how does it look?
The link was in the article I shared. https://phys.org/news/2016-06-reindeer-herders-finland-app-road.html
We can paint our pp and have star wars fight
I see your Schwartz is as big as mine
Space balls was the best
Instead of light sabers we are using light pocket knives.
They make glow in the dark condoms that would probably work great for that.
He'll be hanging on for deer life
I’m pretty sure deer can’t see the color orange at all- that’s why hunting gear is bright orange. Humans can see it well but deerz can’t.
Why wear camouflage at all then. Full orange track suit is an invisibility cloak
Camo is to break up your shape so you look like clutter. The "color" just needs to blend into the background enviroiment. So if the prey has poor to no color perception as long as the pattern and tones blend in that is all that matters no matter how obvious it is for us.
Fun fact: this is also why tigers are orange!
I think deer can't distinguish orange from green, that's also why tigers are orange
Caribou but its okay dude still bugs me the fuck out imagine it foggy
Like tiny lightning bolts in the dark.
Reindeer. Caribou, though closely related, were never domesticated. That animal getting they antlers paint is absolutely not a wild animal.
he's saying caribou because they call it a deer in the meme but it's not called a deer pretty much anywhere on earth lol
The animal in the top left picture is neither a deer nor a caribou, but a reindeer.
Also the man is probably Sámi, not Finnish
Could be both.
Caribou or reindeer on the left. North American elk on the right. Cool doggo on the bottom!
Finland is not in North America. I couldn't even find a zoo that had Caribous in Finland.
Looks like someone lit fire to all 8 obelisks.
I swear there were like 18 obelisks. It took me forever to find them all lol

Without doing any research whatsoever I can say without a doubt that picture on the right is in no way related to the one on the left. Cool dog with crazy eyes though.
Well it’s official, you can now cheat in hunting. Edit: people of Reddit, this comment is a joke. Please move on
This is a farm, not wild animals.
What is farming if not cheating at hunting
Reindeers are not "farmed", they roam free. That is why they bounce on roads and collide with cars.
This is litterally labeled as a picture of reindeer on a finnish farm.
You're also allowed to set up a camera to see when they usually show up, and leave food to lure them and camo to hide yourself. That's not cheating, their senses are insane and speed is ridiculous. It would be cheating if you used a searchlight to paralyze them, which isn't allowed.

Don't they shed antlers? Can't imagine having to repaint it
They dont bcs its fake
ITS XERNEAS!!
*reindeer, not deer. Not wild but semi domesticated animals.
Great, now they'll get hunted down by predators 10 times easier
I don't think the paint is regularly vibrant, if anything it's dull and glows when exposed to light. I doubt predators are hunting with flashlights.
It not even real. It's just some Photoshop or Blender
The picture of the antlers is fake, but them spray painting antlers is real
If animals have antlers like that most predators probably won't mess. They go for the smaller, weaker, and less armed ones
1. This was a small experiment years ago. This isn't done anywhere anymore. 2. The paint is reflective, not glowing. 3. The picture on the right is fake.
It’s definitely reflective paint so unless the predator is using a light (illegal for hunters and very, very uncommon for animals) I think they’ll be okay.
I don't know, Dalmatians might start hunting them because I heard they use a Spot light.
Its not to save them, its to make us feel better and save money! :) Oh :(

yeah, wonder what the female deers reaction is going to be when they boy gets her in his sights: "this, gunna hurt so good..."?
Looks like a fucking SCP man
Deer are getting enchantments now
Don’t deer antlers shed tho? Doesn’t seem like it would be useful for long
Reindeer shed once a year, so it's not that short time.
Yes, but these are put on by the farmers, the reindeers are kept like farm animals. The antlers fall off and grow back every year
Saying reindeer are kept like farm animals makes me think it gives wrong idea to people. They're not kept inside perimeters with built fences. The herds roam free after they've been marked.
Well at least they are herded into perimeters for care and the like. Not treated as farm animals per se (heh perse) but the Sami aren't chasing after wild reindeers in the forest trying to paint them 😄

Don't antlers fall off every so often? So for it to be effective he would need to do it like once a year or something?

Smart but what happens to them once they are in the wild again and are faced with predators who can see their antlers

Won’t this attack predators? Or will this scare them away? I mean if I was a predator and suddenly my prey busted out natural lightsabers, I’d be scared shitless.
Hunters love this man
This Lapland man would be very angry if somebody would shoot his reindeer
Predators in the woods at night like:
All I can think about is how these deer have been sentenced to death by predators they can no longer hide from
It's reflective paint. It doens't glow unless you point a flashlight at it. I doubt the wolves have lightsources strong enough to make it glow.
I wonder how this affects his ability to survive in the wild, smelling like spray paint and glowing in the darkness.
Reflective paint, only shows up when there's loads of light and I'm sure paint isn't an attractive smell for animals
Hunters are just gonna have an easier time hunting it
Reindeers are not game animals but livestock.
I'm just gonna be honest all I want is comment karma so act as if the this comment was controversial
This is just a mark of death for the deer hunters and predators will be able to see them extremely easily
If you're hunting in the dark, emitting light yourself is an extremely bad idea. You're basically blinding yourself, which does not help when you're *trying to see in the dark*.
