whitetailtrax Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Montana is so big....apparently the deer are finding new ways to disperse This goofy doe took a leap off the I-15 bridge this morning and found herself atop a rail car! Pretty wild! I didn't take the photos so I have no idea what she eventually did. Enjoy [image][/image] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitetailtrax Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer [ QUOTE ] is that real? [/ QUOTE ] Oh it's real alright....there were several other photos in the email I got, but didn't have time to post them all and some weren't great anyway. One shows a railroad worker climbing up on the car to I guess try to get the doe to jump down. I will try to get more info on her eventual fate. A lot of deer get killed on the interstate in this location and she was "fortunate" enough to land safely - all be it quite a ways off the ground.

wtnhunt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer Interesting pics. Seriously doubt the deer jumped off that bridge onto the train if the pics are in fact real. On my screen, looks like I see a halo or lines around the outside of the deers body possibly indicating it has been chopped, maybe it is just my eyes or my screen.

whitetailtrax Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer Here's the rest of the photos from the email. I guess decide for yourself if they are real. If not real, somebody went through a heck of a lot of trouble to photo shop a series of 5 photos from different angles and the deer in different poses.

whitetailtrax Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer Final update.....there's a story in this mornings paper about it http://www.helenair.com/articles/2007/01/10/helena_top/a01011007_01.txt I guess he broke a couple legs in the whole ordeal and had to be put down.....pretty wild.

wtnhunt Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer That is a pretty wild story. Would not have thought it likely that the deer would have jumped from that bridge onto the moving boxcar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestKyTeacher Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer DEER DO JUMP OFF BRIDGES! There is a railroad bridge next to my fathers house. One evening a woman who goes to my church was coming up one side while another car was coming in the other direction. There was a 7pt buck in the middle so he jumped off the side. I went up later and found him dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M00N Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Goofy Mule Deer Pretty interesting situation and footage. You don't see that every day. We've had a few deer jump into those cattle shoots they use for construction on the major highways then they'd panic and jump over the other side which normally was a big drop to the ground. Seen a few deer die that way during the trip to our cabin or back during the various deer seasons. Normally don't see them do that too often out of season or out of rut, though. I bet if someone scaled down the sheer cliff on the one side they'd find a slew of skulls and deer bones down there and some antlers, too.
