Seen opossums doing the exact same thing except we were shooting the dead bloated cow, the opossum didn't make it far once he left his concealment |

Ran over a squirrel in the heat of the summer, popped like a balloon.
|
|
I try to avoid running over dead animals, though it can't be avoided sometimes....
|
|
What a sick question! Do you kick puppys too? |
|
|
I ran over a dead dog one time for fun...Had to repeatedly run my truck through a mud hole to get it off, shank so bad I puked.
Hit a dead cat with the bushhog....horrible, same a blender I guess, almost puked that time. |
|
Was the buzzard flying or on the side of the road? If it was stationary I've got you beat, assuming a deer can equal a hog. I took out the last duck in a line flying across the road with his buddies from the corn field on one side of the road to the pond on the other. Interesting fact: Did you know a beagle hit at approximately 70mph can do over $1000 worth of damage to a Neon? |
|
|
No, but from what I understand, because of me God has killed A LOT of kittens! |
||
|
Yeah,thats pretty bad right there. |
|
|
I run over everything that crosses my path, dead or alive. I remember hitting a cat in high school in front of some kids that had just "adopted" it (found on the way home from school), I thought it was funny as hell.
|
|
Sorry dude but thats funny as hell! I just about pissed myself. Roadkill in TN = Supper Hit all of them you want. My wife and 16 kids need the food. |
|
|
I do it all the time. It gives me immense personal satisfaction seeing rotten possum innards
on the windshield of the guy tailgating me for the last mile. |
|
I don't usually go out of my way to do it, it makes sense to do it if you feel a need for mercy/to make sure it really is dead. Doesn't make sense to do it, though, if it means putting yourself or other drivers at risk.
|
|
I try to avoid it....with my luck I'd only end up with a rib puncturing my tire anyway.
|
|
I do it all the time. Small stuff like squirrels. Not when its somthing big though.
Clunk cluck!! |
|
One day years ago I accidentally hit a dead armadillo that had been in the road for at least a week. It took me 3 days to wash the underneath of the truck enough to get rid of the funk.
If it's already dead, I avoid it like the plague. And I don't purposely try to kill any animal in the road other than snakes when they are crossing. |
|
Yeah,I usually try to stay away from dogs ( big ones ), deer,cattle you know,stuff like that. |
|
|
I change my own tires, work on my own suspension and brakes, and climb under my car to lube and oil and inspect things on a regular basis. I would rather not splatter rotting animal carcass all over the bottom of the car if I can possibly avoid it. |

Once a long time ago a guy somewhere did a study by putting fake (rubber) dead "animals" on roadways, to study drivers' reactions. He did a bunch of different [small] animals, domestic and wild.
He observed that the rubber snakes got run over intentionally the most, by a wide margin. Most people actively avoided the other animals. ~ |
|
WOW! Someone got their mangina all sandy. "Ease up Francis." Its a joke post. BTW: When I was in high school we used to tie dead animals to the axle of our fellow teammates (football) that screwed up in the game. You havent seen anything funny yet untill you see some kid driving down the road with a dead possum bouncing up and down behind his vehicle on a rope. |
|
|
I told a friend once to "watch out for that deer"
He was looking in the ditch but it was actually laying dead in the middle of the road. We went airborn GM |
|
Yep....... we do it all the time at work....... you should see what happens to roadkill when its run over by a 13 ton armored truck!....................
so far i personally have 8 skull & cross bones for live kills... if its dumb enough to walk out in front of me, then its fair game!.... should have seen the vault managers face when we pulled in the garage one night with a deer in the back of the armored truck, that we hit that afternoon.... ( we gutted it an packed it with ice!, to keep it fresh.) colt! |
|
I hit a (dead) German Shepherd once in L.A. on I-5. Going 75. In a Volkswagen.
I think I caught air |
|
Yea, sorry to resurrect an old thread but...
We were traveling down the highway in one of the semis for work, middle of the summer, on the right are two people riding bikes. Then the line, then the dead skunk...then us. You guessed it, right speed for all parties involved, Semi, and bicyclists, that they passed the dead skunk at the same time that our front tires passed over it. Splat, all over the bicyclist. I heard her scream, look back and she almost wrecked it into the ditch on the side of the road. (I was riding shotgun) |
|
If it is dead and on the road, I'll run it over again if possible as long as it is smaller than deer. Hell, that goes for live critters too. The wheels of my old trucks don't discriminate.
|
|
Oh heck yea. Once I pulled the emergency brake so I could slide over a dead raccoon sideways.
Little bastard put a dent right under the passenger door. |
|
WAY back, I had a '67 RS Camaro,with nice, wide L 60s on the back( OH MY GOD,I'M PRE-METRIC) Anyway,there was a big,bloated possum on the edge of the road,and a bunch of young kids looking at it.I locked the brakes just as I went over it.It Squirted everywhere,and the remains slid along in front of the locked rear tire.Sort of wore it away,like when we used to write on the road with crabapples.Heehee
Had an old Monaco.Windows down,summer evening.Car load and beer flowing.Hit a dead fox with the right front and the guys on that side (arms out the window) both got it.Heehee God I miss those days.Going out to look for dead shit now. |

Your Mom doesn't seem to mind. |
|
|
Thats just funny!! |
|
|
Yeah,you know, it isn't for everybody. |
||
|
Holy crap,thats great! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
||
|
Sounds like a plan. How was it? |
|
|
Probably. |
|
|
OH MY GOODNESS!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,wow,you're a mean one! Thats so funny!!BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
|
|
Oh,alright,right away. I might suggest learning how to capatalize. |
|
|
Wow,talk about commitment! |
|
|
That goes for me as well. |
|
|
Sounds good man! Let me know how you did. |
|
|
Exhibit "A": Collective retardation. There is no exhibit "B". "Nothin' say's fun like crushing live critters under the wheels of my car! Weeee hooooo!" Fuckin' morons. |

|
Keep on thinkin' that, cityboy. |

I make it a point to "double-tap" roadkill.... It's best if there is a car behind you, and you go out of your way (safely) to run em over. Get some good looks at the next light after that. I've had critters stick between my duals and go round and round for a mile or so. Tried an armadillo once....bad idea.
<------------<<<< |
|
Stick and stones....... |
|
|
Possums have little effect on the suspension of a diesel dually, not even the frozen ones... On a related subject, I have been told of individuals as sick as myself finding roadkill dogs, etc that were stiff enough to warrant "standing back up" in the road. Have yet to find a worthy candidate, but it seems humorous enuff in a very demented kind of way. |
|
|
............
.......... Wonder if that would work on a dead frozen deer???? COLT! |
