Seems like a good case for one of those CSI type shows.  My first thought was he was some sort of extreme animal lover that was overcome with guilt, but that is just too weird.  There has to be more to it.

[sbrguy]

guy probably hit the deer and got seriusly injured in the crash and had a gun on him.  probably realized that he was/is in serious pain from the crash and probably decided to end it rather than deal with being paralyzed or such from the crash, but then again who knows.

[fasterblkduc]

The deer totally did it.

[RAT900]

I dunno....we won't speculate how Travis would handle taking a moose out....could get drastic

[KRJ]

   The Dude might have been out to off himself all along, and on His way to His "peaceful" spot, hit the deer and had to do it there. We could have a pool as to what really happened, compare Our theories to the investigation outcome, closest guess wins!!

This man, like Travis, had a love of the quadruped. What happened was there was a Romeo and Julietesque romance going on, and finally, the deer, in the heat, of, uh, heat, decided to follow her families wishes and be with someone with bigger antlers and a nicer den. The man, overcome with his grief, succumbed to the sorry state of murder-suicide.

A tragic tale of bestiality gone wrong.

oh, deer....

When will these doe-eyed youths learn?

[avizpls]

Wow....and if this were somebody YOU knew and I was running my mouth like that??

a little respect is all

[KRJ]

   And what did the Doe say when She stepped out of the woods?? " I'll never do that for two Bucks again!".....Yeah, not too much respect for people who bump themselves, sorry..

[DrDesmo]

Yeah, not too much respect for people who bump themselves, sorry..

Quite right!  I firmly believe that if you're in a life circumstance that makes you feel that desperate you should be pilloried in the afterlife by total strangers.

i refuse to recognize this man as a motorcyclist if thats what happened.

 if he were a motorcyclist the headline would read

Motorcyclist hits deer, has lovely dinner

That's all i can figure. Weird story.

The article said he wasn't wearing a helmet...maybe he hit his head in the crash and was all weirded out, causing him to think shooting himself was a good idea?

Imagine you just crashed, you are in agonizing pain, and you can't move your legs. You also just happened to be carrying a pistol... what ya gonna do?
