Glad you are OK Andi! Deer and dogs can do a surprizing amount of damage to vehicles when struck...also, some people will get into more trouble by swerving to avoid collisions, especially around here where we have lot's of drainage ditches along the roadsides...
sad about your car...but my dad always told me" Don't get attached to them son, they ALL wind up in the junk yard" ...

Pictures...or it didnt happen lol

**puukkoman** · 09-26-2012, 07:54 AM

Now, the key part of this equation, is... what was her response?

Nice score. What kind of Trapper was it?

It´s not a sponsored hunter. It´s a regular hunter. But when an accident with a deer has happened, the police calls the hunter on that hunting area it happened. The hunter has to come, doesn´t matter what time. Even at night. The hunter who wanted to shot "my" deer is a farmer at his job. I know several hunters. This part of their duty.

Thank you guys for the kind words. I know, it´s just a car - but it´s some kind of good tool. It takes me every day to work and back again

I know, a little stupid

That is why my initial comment was to show my totaled car and say its just a car

Its not stupid, it used to make me sick when it happened. After time passes you can look back and not feel worried about it was my point. Trying to lighten the stress for you

No matter how you look at it these types of situations usually cost hardships IMO.

Cool!

I love Wes Anderson's movies, and was already looking forward to seeing this one.

Thank you, Sir! I worked, believe it or not

**shrapne1** · 09-26-2012, 02:16 PM

haha you guys are funny. Its a case trapper, I know I know, its yellow...but i want to try it on for size before i bite the bullet on a nice stag one.

And NO she didnt say yes because she felt obligated so dont give me a hard time about that, when i asked her she was laughing so its not like she said yes because she felt guilty; plus when she sees me all cleaned up shes going to go giggity giggity.

Im not going to start a rant about how cases angers me sometimes with their quality, but this one actually is perfect.....perfectly centered blades, NO gaps, the handle meets the bolsters beautifully, sharp blades, and for once, every piece of this knife is polished (usually they keave top or bottom bolster grinded and rough etc etc etc)

**Campbellclanman** · 09-26-2012, 02:44 PM

I didnt mean pictures of the knife lol, seriously, very nice knife!

**johnny twoshoes** · 09-26-2012, 03:42 PM

First:
Clean yourself up.

Then:
Carve her out a heart shaped necklace with that trapper, then return and try to win her over again.

If:
If you fail, hey you got a trapper for $9 bucks.

**Kadmos** · 09-26-2012, 04:11 PM

Nice knife. Good job saving some money on it.... likely the girl will cost you more

Never was that smooth picking up girls, I did try to pick up a gal at a hardware store once.

Spent some decent money there, I guess I bought an axe, shovel, rope and some lime.

Anyway, she said no.

Ah well

You didn't happen to pick up some industrial sized contractor bags did you? I jest.

To the OP, congrats on the new knife and good luck for next time.

**ranchmanben** · 09-26-2012, 06:50 PM

I'm a sucker for a nice looking trapper. That sounds like the deal of the century, a Case trapper and a date for $9. Good lookin out.

Date advice #1: Wait at least until she finishes her main course to tell I love you.

Date advice #2: talk about yourself constantly. She will want know what kind of guy she is on a date with and women don't generally like to talk.

Good luck.

*hides*

**shrapne1** · 09-26-2012, 07:06 PM

I should have RE-worded my response; she said YES to the date, but not because she felt guilty. That is what i meant to say.
BEN: i told her i loved her before i left the store you silly billy.

you guys are knife nuts, i thought you meant the knife

Well seeing as ive seen her only once outside of work, i only have a crappy cell phone shot for now

but yes i will carve her out something, thats an awesome idea!

**ranchmanben** · 09-26-2012, 07:29 PM

Well played.

**silenthunterstudios** · 09-26-2012, 07:39 PM

Andi, I am glad you are all right. Sorry to hear about your wheels.

Speaking to the deer, my father and uncle were coming back from a hunting trip, when I was just a baby. They were driving a Datsun pickup and the deer actually came through the windshield, and it's front legs were stuck in the truck. They tracked it to a fence that it couldn't jump over because it was missing it's front legs, couldn't jump. This was in the freezing mix of rain and snow, and my father said it was more than a couple hundred yards.

I just know that venison stew and venison chili are the best meals you can eat in the winter time. Must be the only reason they exist...
