A Jack Russell (didn't see him, car coming opp. direction dazzled me) and a sheep (crossed road at last min and got lamed)

Wonder why ppl don't stop and chuck anything they nailed over the hedge instead of just leaving it there? Disgusting. Loads of foxes dead on the road in country places, would surprise me if it was deliberate.

Im not being a smart arse but that made me laugh. You hit someones family pet, described it as nailing him, and then chucked him somewhere. And the people who hit things and drive off are disgusting!

I sort of meant wild animals, Re the Jack Russell, I knew the dogs owner. Curiously enough he wanted me to get rid of his dog a few weeks before and I refused.
Ironic.

Got a small bird unknownst to me, only when I lifted the bonnet I found him wedged by the headlamp.

I could have phrased that a bit better, I'll admit...

OK rough story, so dont read if you like animals.

I too murdered a Duck family once on a Quad Bike. Lovely Summers morning, quiet narrow country lane and I don't think I was going that fast either. Came around a corner there was Mammy Duck and six or seven ducklings waddling down the middle of road. Took me a couple of seconds to register as I only seen Mammy duck, the others somehow blended into the road. Unfortunatley by the time my massacre was over, they were well blended into the road as by swerving to avoid them I ran straight over them. I took out 4 outright and one was paralysed (well was alive but not moving....what do I look like a Vet?).

I was in tears. To this day, I can still hear the quacking and crunching sounds. Oh the horror! Mammy duck went postal on me too (well seemed that way) and paranoia set in as I swore I could hear other ducks in the distance coming that way probably to gang up on me and get revenge. I hightailed it out of there on the Quad covered with bits of duck and tears still in my eyes. Never been on a bike since.

I remember I hit a fox once. Yes, in the Peak District. I remember seeing the reflection in its eyes just before I hit it. It was too late, of course.

But I didn’t kill it, that was the tragedy, I had to go back and finish him off with a jack.

Roos are stoopid

Possums/wallabies are worse. Driving a hire car through the wilds of tasmania at night, literally streams of critters crossing the roads. Never seen anything like it. Bricking it that one would end up plastered on the front of the Yaris and have to pay for damage.

One day going home I seen a pidgeon infront of me. Looked in the mirror and saw a cubic metre of pidgeon feathers in the air behind me

This reminded me of the time I was going to lunch with a friend of mine. I got to his house and there was a dead fox on the road. Off we went out for lunch, we were pulling back into his driveway and there was the dead dog in his plants!! Someone had just taken it off the road and thrown it over his hedge!!!

...and how exactly did it transform from a fox into to a dog

Must be a magic hedge :pac:

Yeah I hunt so if I come across fresh road kill yeah. I was doing about 100-20 over a hill close by to my house. Seen a slight movement to my right, a pheasant flew right into my handlebars levers, gutted itself on my clutch lever, smashing into my chest. I left its guts all over my chest, clutch was at a right angle. However, no harm done and yeah I like pheasant so I had it.

Flaker · 03-08-2012 01:32PM

A pigeon hit my windscreen and rolled over the roof and also hit the car behind me.

The dude behind me started beeping like mad - like I'd thrown the bird at him or something!

Left a big smudge on my windscreen to remind me of it's demise....

CruelCoin · 03-08-2012 01:50PM

I swerve to avoid birds.

I accelerate and aim when i see rabbits.

B.A._Baracus · 03-08-2012 03:13PM

Speaking on animals and driving.

Me and the gf were walking through Talbot street yesterday. Saw a dead pigeon on the road. Of course, just as we were walking past it a bus ran out it... all you could hear was this loud "pop"

flanders1979 · 03-08-2012 03:32PM

I've hit a couple of dogs . The second one was in front of the owner who denied it was his dog as he thought it damaged my car(it didnt). He said it was a stray that had been following him even though I seen it jumping out of the back of his pickup. I hope the dirty rotten inbred looking bollox gets what is coming to him.

Canard · 03-08-2012 03:48PM

Once saw a pigeon with no head in town somewhere when I was going for an eyetest, I would have been 8 or 9. It was kinda cool at the time but so disgusting when I think about it. :pac:

mauzo · 03-08-2012 04:28PM

I was on the luas a few months ago and it sounded like it ran over a bottle!

The luas stopped, the driver got out.....it was a dog

Does a Luass usually stop when the driver thinks he hit a bottle? I'd say around O'Connell st he'd be in and out like a stamp lickers tongue.

He obviously saw the dog before he hit it, to the passengers it just sounded like a plastic bottle being crushed!!!

Pottler · 03-08-2012 11:11PM

There ye go, another thing learnt. I thought they got it hard to notice they'd hit a double decker bus, never mind a dog.:D

dodderangler · 03-08-2012 11:16PM

Plenty of rabbits and a pigeon
Put em straight into the boot of the car and gave them to the ferrets and hawk

Why do you keep a hawk and some ferrets in your car boot? Do they get along? It must be an Octavia, loads of room there for a Hawk to fly around in.

Anyway I was calling out to my mate's house and slowed down when i saw traffic on the other side of the road stopping and building up in a tailback. I didn't know why so I kept driving at a slower speed.

Then I noticed a mammy duck and a line of baby ducks behind her crossing the road. The splitter under my bumper took down the mammy and the front tyre crushed a few of the babies. I felt the crunch through the steering column and the flapping of feathers as I passed over the mammy duck, which i saw in my rear view mirror was still alive albiet paralysed as she was flapping on the road with the baby ducks unable to get up. The babies were milling around her and their crushed siblings, they didn't know what to do (they're ducks, remember).

I was going to get out and finish off the mother duck with my boot when I notice that a group of about 4 children and a couple of adults who had been watching the duck cross the road had witnessed the gruesome and macabre scene unfold and now were in a state of shock and distress. The kids were crying and stuff. So I elected to drop a cog and high-tail it out of there.

Like I said, i like animals and feel bad about this so lay off alright!

You should have killed the rest of the baby ducks. They'll grow up and avenge their families death. They'll be ready to strike when you least expect it

dodderangler · 03-08-2012 11:29PM

Obviously when I got home
But yes ferrets will sit in boot and the hawk rides up front on the passenger seat I just take off the headrest and she sits on the top of the seat
Also yes they do get along they hunt together

Pottler · 03-08-2012 11:31PM

The duck of death!:D The young ones go quackers when you kill their mommy. All jokes aside, I'd feel crap if I hit a duck, I'm fond of them, they brighten the place up.

Sorry auld son, but I dislike you immediately. Ferrets and a Hawk? So, you get your kicks from sending a ferret down a burrow to kill the rabbits inside and a Hawk up to snag any "game" on the ground? Go catch them with your bare hands if you like killing stuff so much. I do not like people who keep ferrets, dogs for fighting, dogs for baiting or coursing. Bunch of cnuts in my opinion and yep, I'd say it to your face. I catch them sneaking around on my farm and take great pleasure in turning the tables. I get whole gangs of poachers arriving down en mass to go over a forest I own-10-20 lads, jeeps, lamps, dogs, the works. Luckily, I am a right old fecker and we soon reach an arrangement. They go act the cnut somwhere else. No smiles either, I've seen the handiwork up close often enough and I reckon there's somthing lacking to get a kick out of it.

If it helps majority of the time I do kill them by hand if the ferrets dont kill it or the hawk first time il just kill it with my bear hands
Nothin against ya 'pal'
Your entitled to your own opinion as is everyone else
But remember its up to me whether I choose to give a flying fcuk bout your opinion

dodderangler · 03-08-2012 11:57PM

Also I wouldn't go onto land that I didn't have permission on
I hate them cnuts just as much as you do
Big difference between hunting and poaching tho

Roadkill.
