Nothing runs into your car and damages it more like a deer.
I’ve had several near misses over the years of hitting deer (or them hitting me), but I met my fate the other night. I buck ran smack in the side of my car as I was traveling 65 mph down the interstate.
If I was one second earlier, I would have missed him. But if I was one second later, he might have come through the windshield and crushed me.
So I guess I’m lucky that he only caused my car about $1,000 in damages.
The deer situation where I live in northeast Ohio seems out of control. They are everywhere!
I know many superintendents welcome wildlife on their golf courses. But what about an overabundance of deer? Are deer causing you and your course problems? If so, what are doing about it?
