Read carefully:

Years ago I worked for a municipality on their "road maintenance" crew. And that's all we did, maintain public roads throughout town. :manny:

That included fixing potholes, trimming shoulders, replacing manhole covers/grates, plowing snow all night the winter, removing trees that have fallen in the road or have been blown down in a storm, removing spills from car accidents, etc etc. Just anything you can think of that involves maintaining city roads, we did it. Unfortunately that also included dead animal removal and mannnn have I had some rough ones boy whew :wow:

I never got used to doing it. Well, I got used to it, but I never grew a "liking" for it. I hated getting a dead animal call. But you do what you gotta do :manny: it's what men have done from the beginning of time. And removing dead animals came with the job, and somebody had to man up and do it :manny: it's either that or get bombarded with calls from every Karen in town about it every single day until it's gone :snoop:

One of my more interesting episodes didn't even come from an actual 'dead-animal call' at all though. On this day we just happened to be up and down the the interstate, running out and hitting potholes in the travel lanes with shovel-fulls of asphalt(cold patch) and then running back onto the shoulder. Dangerous sh*t with cars flying by at 80mph but super fun :noah:
Well one day as we were 'runnin n gunnin' as we called it, I came up on a dead bobcat :scust: sh*t was gross of course because it was dead, but it was perfectly intact. Considering I'd never seen a bobcat in person before, I always say that was one of my more interesting episodes. I even took pics :ehh:

But most of the time it was just :scust: but anyway ask away brehs :snoop:

What's the grossest animal you had to pick up and what was the biggest one? And u ever come across any that were still alive?


Weird story, when I was in high school one night I was headed home and this big ass deer was on the shoulder of the highway and there was a big semi in front of me and the deer jumped out in the road and the truck hit it and there were two other deer with it and they jumped out too and the truck hit two of them and the 3rd one ran into the side of my car. I had a wrangler at the time and that bytch hit my car so hard that it lifted up on 2 wheels and tore a hole in my top and broke a window and the deer hit the ground and got up and just stood there and I had to pull over to make sure my car was good but something happened to my wheel, and the top was like stuck to where I couldn't take it up or down. Either way I ended up having to get something replaced in the suspension later and the truck in front was all fukked up like smoking and the last deer that was there was still on the side of the road the truck driver threw cans and shyt at it to get it to move and he even said somebody is gonna hit that deer he's gonna see lights and run in front of somebody to get to that field across the highway. Well no more than a few seconds later another car coming was barreling down the freeway and this dumb ass deer jumped in the way of the car and hit it dead on and that bytch just exploded. The truck like smeared guts and shyt all over the place and the car splashed blood all over the place.

Where do y'all take the animals?

Well it depended on how much money the city had at the time. If they had bread, we took them to a local landfill that disposed of dead animals. Imagine pulling into that place :scusthov: no fun.
When the city was broke, we had a spot back up in the woods up a hill we named "deer hill", and we'd dump them there.

The problem with that, is that every so often somebody's gotta volunteer or get picked to go back there with a bulldozer and push dirt over all the carcasses that have built up. Also, no fun.

Do you travel with another person in case you come across a deer?
No, you don't bring a partner. You don't need one if you know what you're doing.
I can hear my old boss now "if you can't get a deer by yourself get the hell off this Yard :camby:". And I agreed with him.

One day on my way to work, I saw a guy who worked for the city scrape up a dead cat with a shovel and threw it in the back of the truck

Yeah cats, racc00ns, and small dogs, they all got that shovel work :ufdup:

With deer you either grab them with your hands or, well, that's it. Whether you're dragging it into the woods or loading it up to take it away, you're gonna have to grab that stinking f*cker :wow:

Idk what truck you saw them using, but we had one identical to this one(with the towns colors/logo). F-450 Super Duty Dump w/lift-gate. I'd back up to the carcass, lower the lift gate, drag them onto the platform, raise the gate, slam it shut.

And like one @Cat piss martini always says, off to see the wizard

This was about 10 years ago at least, it could've been a truck like that or something smaller
