Deer Out of Hand - Still
If we aren't mistaken, deer season is right around the corner, and according to this report in the Tribune, these four footed terrorists are sending more and more "suicide" missions our way and are increasingly likely to kill their targets:
- The number of people killed in vehicle accidents involving deer on Illinois highways hit a high last year, even as the number of accidents declined, state transportation officials said Thursday.
- Eight of the 11 fatalities in 2005, up from 6 the year before, were either drivers or passengers on motorcycles, according to new Illinois Department of Transportation statistics.
- Cook County led the state with 995 deer versus vehicle accidents last year, resulting in 61 injuries. Lake, Will, Kane and McHenry Counties ranked 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, respectively, with 516, 509, 501 and 447 accidents resulting in 24, 26, 15, and 14 injuries. DuPage County was far down the list with 231 accidents, nine of which resulted in injuries.
Evidently, deer have decided to target motorcyclists as "soft targets." And it's not really a big surprise that in the area where gun laws are the most restrictive (Cook County), deer "attacks" are the most brazen. We desperately need a deer culling in Cook County - just the other day, we had to resort to launching golf balls at 20 or more deer blocking our path to the 3rd green at a nearby golf course. This is becoming intolerable.

I herd that the next big money maker is for toll booths on the bike paths beginig next spring.
One booth every three miles, so with thirty miles of lake front bike paths that will be ten booths.
Who will get the contract to build them? Stay tuned.
Sorry, wrong section.
Please see the next section.
Well I'm going out tomorrow moring and try a take one of them tasty deer out of the gene pool. I can only hope that in doing so I save someones life. To all the tree huggers out there, to fucken bad. As Ted Nuegent once said. I love Bambi, a little salt,pepper and garlic and he tastes real good.
First establish a bounty on politicians and/or exempts. Deer come in a distant fifth after rats.
Off topic I know
BUT I need to vent this
I just read the Friday Tribune account of the triple murder on 8100 S Green
That a human being could do this to other humans, not withstanding that one was his mother who was pleading for her life and another was his grandmother.
This guy needs to be dragged slowly behind a car, bound at the wrists, all the way to Albequerque
New Mexico from the crime scene.
I hope he spends eternity at the Gates of Hell
And G-d Bless the officers who brought him to the attention of the courts Good job guys
Thank you for the indulgence
I was riding my motorcycle on River road through forest preserve and counted over twenty deer poised to make my wife a widow. Pretty scary, guess I need louder pipes.
off topic:any news on the investigation regarding the metra officer shot and killed in harvey?
Let's get squad cars up there....with push bumpers and dashboard cameras....and make road kill a competitive sport!
Keep advocating the extermination of coyotes
That will keep the deer population down
SCC When you advocated killing coyotes my respect for your foresight and intelligence dropped about 25%
I used to think that you were fairly sharp
Not any more
Q: Oh dear, do you have a little dough?
A: Yeah. two bucks!

Hmmm. OK, not one of our better streams of logincal progression.
The burgeoning deer and goose populations provide more opportuninty for coyotes to breed successfully as there is plenty of food. Suburbia encroaches on coyote hunting areas providing plenty more tasty morsels in the form of Fifi, Spot and Fluffy. If we eliminate deer and geese, the starving coyotes are going to be grazing on stray dogs and cats until some sort of balance is reached - and in the interim could attack people, small people.
The obvious solution is to re-instill the fear of man that coyotes had learned for the past 200 years or so by rearming the populace. But we're surrounded by so many tree huggers and anti-gun liberals that any attempts to kill deer, goose or coyotes is going to run into problems. Relocation isn't really an option.
Having a top of the heap predator nosing around our backyards where the dogs and kids play doesn't seem like a good idea. We're open to suggestions. But the balance of nature gets out of whack pretty easily and efforts to correct it might not be the correct path - as evidenced by our shortsightedness.
As a retired guy who moved to a southwest suburb, I look out my back window every evening and find a minimum of 5 deer. They are fed by our neighbors and the deer no longer bat one of their long eye lashes at us when we open our garage doors or walk buy. As beautiful as they are, they are too domesticated and we have all seen the damage they are capable of. Just wanted to comment.
"This guy needs to be dragged slowly behind a car, bound at the wrists, all the way to Albequerque

Personally, I'd like to see them bring back the drawn and quartered concept to capitol punishment. I'd settle for impaling ala Vlad. I'm easily amused that way.
just a side note its F N hard as hell to strap a deer to my harley..and i did get some strange looks from the Niles coppers...
1 Harley = 850 lbs.
1 rider = 250 lbs
1 deer = 200 lbs (cleaned)
tied to my bike cruising down caldwell and the looks on peoples faces PRICESLESS!!
Dear 10/14/2006 12:27:13 AM,
Her's where you're wrong. Our family has about one-hundred-and fifty years collectively on this job and have come to the conclusion he is not a human being. But he counts more than me or you because he and his vote Democrat!

Ugh, what a groaner!
I guess I'm simple-minded though because I LMAO at it.
I know this is off topic but I feel complelled to post this. We lost a good man this week. He was a good Police Officer and now a good Sgt. He was stripped this week because he apparently tried to help out those shit bags from SOS when he was filling in as thier Sgt. It may not have been the smartest thing he's ever done but his heart was in the right place and he tried to do what he thought was the right thing. He didn't know that these guys were doing what they were doing and now because he tried to be a standup guy he's going to pay the price. It's a real shame. As I said, he's a great guy and a good copper/Sgt. He wasn't involved in what they were up to but he did get caught up in it because of them. Bastards!

Great, I know where to send my wife driving. Thanks for the tip.
If your ever in the market for fresh deer kill, leave your number. In 016 we have our share of vehicle vs. deer crashes and we usually end up shooting the creature to put it out of it's misery.
Speaking of misery, don't forget about our two fuck up's on midnights who wrote the officer the other day.
IDEA: let's put these two goofs in a deer suit and put them out of their misery!
I hear they have great dear hunting in WI.
Just need to stay away from those pesky little Hmongs' blinds. They carry SKS's and aren't afraid to use them!
Regarding the coyotedeer/man problem
The wild anilmals were here first WE are bumping heads with them
There are many reasons for this burgeoning population of homo sapiens forging deeper into what was what their home.
We are sucking mother earth dry of her resources
The population boom and other things are going to bite us in our asses or our childrens asses sooner rather than later
Theres no easy answer
I heard the deer were hired recently. They will be working on the polls this November.
Deer whistles!!! They really work.
Why can't we declare a hunting season on those damn birds that inhabit every parking lot in every shopping mall in the city.
OFF TOPIC but what's with the 016 desk personnel not letting people park in front to use the ATM. Is this a new policy or are they just being jerks?

I am a down stater and live in the so called "Golden Triangle" (Brown County). The deer population is totaly out of control here. People come from all over the US and even other countries to take part in this "BIG GAME HUNT" here......please.......kill them all. They are a real problem here, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to our crops and property and 10-50s. The only problem I can see with the big whitetail hunters that come here is that most have not a clue on how to hunt them. They spend lots of money on un-sented soap, doe sent, buck lure, camo.......all that other expensive stuff. All that is needed in the golden triangle to attract deer is, the the sent of a 2006 Chevrolet truck traveling 55 mph two lights on your hat and a horn....I will promise you that you will bag one in no time at all.
Sorry, just a down state cop wanting to be a wise ass.
OFF TOPIC:
SO SORRY TO JENKINS IN 019. TO ALL COPPERS, IF SOME GOOF ATTEMPTS TO WRITE YOU A TICKET, MAKE THEM TVB YOU AND SHOW THEM TO BE THE PR%CKS THAT THEY ARE. WE WILL MAKE THEM PAY. WHY IS NO ONE PISSING IN THEIR LOCKER? IF YOU GO TO TRAFFIC COURT, WE WILL COLLECT AND PAY YOUR FINE AND BUY YOU A BEER. LET US KNOW WHAT HAPPENS.
Speaking of wild animals.
Offender caught on Live video robbing an under cover Chicago Cop in his vehicle. Officer is safe.

Off topic but things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm.
Wealthy Rahm? Poor Bean? Open Secrets Says So
As listed on OpenSecrets.org
Cong. Rahm Emanuel is worth between $8.5 mill and $32 million, making him the wealthiest member of the Illinois Congressional delegation and #39 on the list of high govt officials and the 535 members of Congress as ranked by their wealth.
Below excerpt from Congresspedia.
Emanuel began his career with the consumer rights organization Illinois Public Action. He went on to serve in a number of capacities in local and national politics, including liberal Democrat Paul Simon's 1984 election to the U.S. Senate, political director for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in 1988, and senior advisor and chief fundraiser for Richard M. Daley's victorious campaign for mayor of Chicago in 1989. Emanuel became known for his fundraising abilities in the mayoral campaign of Richard Daley. He would insist on donors giving more than they previously gave, even hanging up the phone on donors to convey his disgust. At the age of 30 he raised an unheard of $7 million for Daley. This helped win him a job as Director of Finance in the 1992 Presidential campaign of then-Governor Bill Clinton.
He went far after being a Ballet dancer and studying dance in school. Ching, ching, ching.
off topic but it still begs to question... what's up with 5400 getting in a vehicle pursuit in 011 friday night?
Rahm Emanuel served in the Israeli Army but never felt the same obligation to serve in ours.
If your ever in the market for fresh deer kill, leave your number. In 016 we have our share of vehicle vs. deer crashes and we usually end up shooting the creature to put it out of it's misery.
Really? When did this happen?
Work here and never saw this in the 8 years I have been here
OFF TOPIC but what's with the 016 desk personnel not letting people park in front to use the ATM. Is this a new policy or are they just being jerks?
Didn't know they were inforcing this with police. The sign says no city workers can park to swipe. It's because 20 of them would park and then hang out for 30 minutes at the machine waiting to swipe. What watch was it? Perhaps they confused you with a city worker?
I'd like more information about this incident in 016 in which a copper was written a ticket. If it's true, who wrote it and what were the circumstances and why hasn't the POS that wrote the ticket been outed here?
Deer just don't know how to look both ways before they cross the street...just like the little two-legged creatures who get out and run across when momma isn't watching.
To Kateykakes: I have enjoyed your comments and your little cartoon photo. How about you be my little doe and I'll be your buck!!!!!!
