Just drove across the Crow rez.
Car pulled off on the shoulder with wrecked front end and smashed in windshield.
On opposite side of the highway is a pretty big and very dead horse just barely off the pavement.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Gets real exciting when it's a black horse at midnight.
Reservations have a lot of open range, and where the range is not open -- the fences aren't that excellent.
Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.

We have thousands of square miles of open range that aren't rez. Livestock has the right of way and a large animal will defeat a small car.

Owner of the car will never see a cent of compensation from the owner of the horse. In Wyoming, horses are supposed to be fenced at all times, but on the rez they get out in the roadway all the time, hit one and you will pay for the horse in addition to paying for your car and injuries.

On opposite side of the highway is a pretty big and very dead horse just barely off the pavement. These 2 things are not related on the rez. A dead horse is a common sight and a car off to the side with a smashed windshield and bashed up front end is even more common. Finding an Indian without a blood alcohol of less than .08 still in a car is what is really rare...

I grew up the reservation .. Anyhow my wife full blooded Navajo and me 1/4 breed who is white as day stop at the loves truck stop on the crow agency. Head to the bathroom come out grab soda then I notice it them Indian boys staring at me trying to figure what this white boy was doing with one of their indian women... Lol told my we better get out here before they kidnap you lol...
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Point being, contrary to others' experience, I don't see dead horses roadside for what looks like over a day with the car that smoked said horse still disabled there as well anywhere but on the rez. ![[Linked Image]](http://i422.photobucket.com/albums/pp306/EthelBaby/Mobile%20Uploads/image_28.jpg)

ya thats not something you see every day. at least around here.
i was driving from shreveport to austin in 84 and came upon a calamity. a small car had hit either a longhorn or some other very large, horned bovine and said bovine was very much alive but very much fugged up and flopping and flipping and bawling. the car was crushed and the people were still inside screaming. since others were on the scene already, i just kept going but it was nasty. horrible actually.

There are a chitload of cars in way worse shape and missing way more windows driving around town as we speak. Some real war ponies. End of the month here, drunks [bleep] all over the place. Not that the horse was probably drunk or anything. We have pasture on both sides of Highway 2 and check the fences pretty regular. About 2 weeks ago drunks went down in the ditch and took out a little chunk. And I'll take (most)Indians over yuppie dumbphucks ANY day. Not a bad place to be if you aren't into urban 'fluff'. Ain't fuucking Starbucks and Subaru country!

Moose get a lot of cars and kill people the same way. With their long legs, the hood goes under the belly and the full weight comes through the windshield.

Hell, it's got more damage on the rear end than the front end. What did he do, run over it and then back over it. powdr
