purchaser was jan schweitzer of rr 3 stouftville jim thomas another tragic example of the danger highways pose to wildlife occurred last week when a wood cock dived into the grill of our old van as is usual in most carcreature collisions the driver had little chance to avoid the impact youre driving along thinking about any number of things tak ing in a little of the roadside scen ery when all of a sudden theres a bird or animal right in front of your vehicle you have a split second to react and most of the time its not enough ironically when you do have more time theres a danger of overreacting and causing an even more serious accident by losing control or striking some other car or object department of highways re ports contain numerous accounts of fatal accidents caused by driv ers swerving to miss some bird or animal on the road while it may seem cruel to hit a creature with your car its all too often the lesser of two evils no one for example wants to strike anything while driving but if you cant stop safely or proceed without personal risk you may have no alternative even then as many have found out when large animals like deer are involved the results are cost ly wildlife collisions at night only compound the problem thinking back to some of the hits and misses weve had with wildlife on the highways will prob ably remind you of your own ex periences while moose deer and bear present the most hazards to motorists because of their size smaller animals can also cause drivers big problems how well i remember the fog- shrouded night we rolled over a big raccoon on a fishing trip to rice lake rounding a sharp bend in the road near bewdley this huge autumnfat predator was under the front wheels before we knew it in another instant we hit the loose gravel shoulder and came within a whisker of going down a steep embankment several years ago on a rainy night with slick road conditions near port perry while my wife was driving we hit a 50pound beaver again there was no chance to miss the big flattail and the resul tant impact felt as if we had run against a railway tie ive heard it said that running over a pig can be upsetting but striking that kingsized beaver was almost as bad luckily there was no appreci- able damage to the pickup just a couple of sets of shattered nerves probably the closest i ever came to actually hitting a deer with a motor vehicle was on a sun day morning returning from a calabogie deer hunt in bright november sunlight and on a dry road surf ace a large doe suddenly leaped out of the cedars bordering the highway and came straight at the station wagon in which we were travelling on this occasion i have to be lieve it was only the driving skill of my companion that avoided an accident as it was the bounding deer came so close it actually kicked loose gravel against the passen ger side of the pontiac wagon yet of all the big game small game birds and other animals that are hit with vehicles every year there is one that for its size causes the most dicomfort striking a skunk with your car for instance even if it is already dead on the road can result in un told hardships uaraniy erv brewda
