Happy New Year to you too Big Guy !!! 2014 has been an amazing year for me personally. Nat and I were married on July 12th, and I am living a happiness I never knew existed. I got out locally 4-5 times this year for walleye, but nothing reportable. It's enough to keep me hooked Happy New year to all of you too. Health and happiness to all.

Not surprised Mike. You could catch walleye on shoe laces if you had to. Good to see Connor is following your footsteps Bud !

I absolutely love my 2013 Rav4 AWD. I drive over 200Km per day to and from work, on a highway famous for black ice and white outs. This is my first winter with it, and I am completely satisfied with it. It is stable in high winds, and the AWD keeps me on the road. Traction management, ABS brakes and the ability to lock all 4 axles from 0 to 40 KPH is great. We got a ton of snow this winter, and I never felt as if I would not make it to work or back. I drive around 120, and am averageing 8.6 l/100 Km I would buy another in a heart beat.!!!

Too Funny !!!! Loved the comments in the background, and how the bear used its teeth like another set of hands. Hillarious ! -

NF Hitting Deer or other large wildlife on the highway
mercman replied to mercman's topic in General Discussion
Ya Bill..I installed separate driving lights about a month ago. They really help at night on this stretch of road. I try going slow, but the speed limit is 90kph and there is always some yahoo up my butt. -

NF Hitting Deer or other large wildlife on the highway
mercman replied to mercman's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the replies everyone ! There is one 16 km stretch of highway 139, from highway 10 to Cowansville , that is deadly. Narrow, dark and winding. I use my driving lights there all the time. I have counted 7 deer on the roadside this winter alone. I started honking my horn every few hundred meters, but will definitely look into deer whistles. -
Last year I sold my suburban home and moved to the country. There are literally thousands of deer in the area. On my way home every day, I pass fields full of them, with many herds having more than 30 in them. I am pretty sure that eventually ,and unfortunately I am going to hit one, as I have seen them crossing the highway on more than one occasion. My question is this. If I do hit one, what is the LEGAL thing to do. I have heard many opinions, and many stories of people getting ticketed for hit and run etc. , after leaving the scene. Although its a sad thing to kill an animal accidentally, I can't see how it can be considered a hit and run if there is no damage to the vehicule and no other vehicule is involved. I just want to make sure I do the right and LEGAL thing if and when it happens. Thanks ! Paul
