Damn Racoons, always getting in my way

Kitana85 · 11-15-2003, 10:21 AM

So yeah, I was driving back to campus last night,when I saw something in the middle of the road. I slammed on my brakes, and there was racoon...starting at me (well staring at my headlights really).

Damn racoons...hmmm, speaking of racoons, whatever happened to Vin?

oh well, but yeah, have you, or have you been in the car, when anyone has created ROADKILL?

I don't think we have racoons here in Aus.

If I saw one, I'd probably just look at it and wonder why it's here in Aus

damn racoons...

Vin, I remember that guy.

The racoons didn't like him at all.

* sees racoons eating a dead body stares in awe* Well thats something you don't see everyday *Cough and points then looks around and walks away*

Where I live racoons are as common as umm... Trees ? who know. But they keep going through my garbage so I'm gonna load my 22 and wait :P * cackles wi th insane glee*

My dog Connor killed a 20 pound raccoon a couple months ago in my back yard. He came out with one good gash and a few various scratches. He was hurting but victorious.

Vin is still here under the alias DamnRacoons.

My mom hit a deer accidently one night when we were driving home. It was dark and rainy.

My dad once hit this REALLY large bird...could have been a turkey vulture or something, it came out of a ditch to our right and right off of the corner of our windshield. *THUMP*. Left some nasty blood/tissue on our van, too.

That happened to me once. I was riding with my mom and dad in a jeep cherokee, and my dad was driving. All of a sudden this turkery flies out of nowwhere from the right side of the road. It managed to get almost all the way across the Jeep, but then it got nailed by the top left corner of the windshield. I looked back and saw it flopping in the road...

Poor thing.

yeah...sounds almost exactly like my situation. only this thing was bigger than a turkey...I mentioned 'turkey vulture' cause I think those are bigger than turkeys...it was like a large pelican almost. I dunno...the thing was huge, though...and it fell HARD.

I feel bad when I see animals on the ground twitching around...cause like, they're just gonna suffer and probaby get run over again. I wish they just had died, for their own good...

~VIN~ left in order to keep his post count at exactly 5,000, and just to get away and stuff.

The Germanator · 11-15-2003, 04:27 PM

I've almost hit a couple squirrels, and deer have run in front of my car countless times, but I've still yet to hit any animals.

Ace195 · 11-15-2003, 05:35 PM

I've never hit anything or even come close. But I did shoot a dear that got hit. I felt bad so I pulled over durning a move and shot it. It died briefly after that

I ran over a 5 year old.
