It seems to me that Deer Hunting at 40+ mph misses the spirit of the sport.

lol indeed Jeff, although it is illegal to 'spot' deer (with a bright light
freezing them) from a moving vehicle here in NJ at least. I regularly have
groups of about 15 in my yard at night, so we really need to watch out for
them. The deer whistles help too (makes them look up and listen, thereby
immobilizing them).
