Deer thought to be road kill springs to life from open car trunk
Motorist had struck deer and planned to feed family with meat

A deer believed to be road kill and stashed inside a Michigan motorist’s trunk sprang to life early Tuesday after a public safety officer opened the trunk and received a surprise he may never forget. (The footage was captured by the Kalamazoo Public Safety Department.)

David Miller was on routine patrol in Kalamazoo at 2:20 a.m. when he saw a person sitting inside a vehicle parked behind a hotel.

According to Michigan Live, the man, a local resident, told Miller he had struck the deer accidentally on a nearby roadway and had planned to use the meat to feed his family.

The deer, as Miller discovered when he opened the trunk to inspect the animal, had other plans, and ultimately disappeared into the nearby woods.

The footage, understandably, has gone viral.

Stated the department in a news release: “Officers often are encountering unique situations. It was a fun story, to maybe get a smile on people’s faces for a change.”

Why put it in the car?
Rednecks man.

**Dreadclaw69**

Well seeing as he ran it down an its not the most part efficient way to hunt I'm guessing this wasn't planned in advance

Where else was he going to put it if he wanted to use it for meat?

At first, I thought this thread was gonna be about some B-Horror Comedy. Then I read the thread and thought "this should be turned into a B-Horror Comedy."

On the hood like a proper redneck. Tied down with the twine he's using as a belt.

**Dreadclaw69**

First time I've ever heard of meat so rare it runs away

**Ratbarf**

@ GreyTemplar Agreed, plus, he effed up anyways, he should have bled the thing immediately, blood infused bruised meat sucks.

The reporter's definition of a large deer and mine are at a varience unless that's as big as they get where he lives.

I just watched the video, that deer is small! At that size I'm almost surprised it didn't have spots on it.

White tail are tiny in some parts of the country.

Mule deer here are what you people not blessed to be in the Rocky Mountains think of as Elk, and our Elk make Clydesdales look tiny.

Any way, this just goes to prove my Gunny's golden rule. Always dead check your kills.

More importantly than the subject matter of the video, I just learned that there is a non fictitious place called "Kalamazoo"
I just woke up and that has made my day.

Now how many times did you randomly say "Kalamazoo" during the day?

There are even songs about the place.

It didnt viciously hoove the driver? Video sucks. You hit something that big you call the cops and stay put.

Seriously though, glad it seemed okay and got away.

I used to live in cereal city. Got lots of those little "give away" boxes of cereal and tiny plastic toys and stuff.

Winters were a little rough there though. Looking out onto my front yard and not being able to determine where the road is was... different. Then so was not being able to locate our driveway or the big Chevy cargo van my parents parked there. Just one big flat plane of snow for miles and miles.

Absolutely love Elk, luckily I live near (3 hour drive) a Roosevelt Elk hunting area

iI have a photo of me somewhere as a lad giving a bull elk some affectionate pats on the neck, The big fellow and his herd were living the life of ease and luxury on a reindeer farm in Alaska and were extremely tolerant of humans coming over, taking pictures, etc. Especially if offerings of veg were made.

I don't think I ever really respected the sheer size of wapiti till I realized that my eye level was at this fellow's withers practically. The little voice in my head that prefers being out in the woods had two comments "You could eat for YEARS off that monster" "you'd have to have that beast stuffed, just because no one would believe you otherwise"

Also got to give a moose some pats at that same farm, most solid muscle I have ever felt on an animal. I'll go moose hunting with you, but I'm bringing either an Africa rated rifle, or an anti-material rifle.
