Deb- I missed the turtle that he saw later in the ride.

Nanci- The funny thing is my husband was a Wildlife Major. He hates the urbanization of the area we are in, 6 years ago (when we left for college) it was not very populated and roadkill was not common. I think he meant it is the nature of us (humans) taking over everywhere.

Although he hunts and loves to fish, he doesn't hit anything on purpose. He is even more of an animal lover than I am. I hate snakes, but he will play with the non-venomous ones. And he said he would prefer to release any fish he catches because it is hard for him to filet them. About a year ago I hit a squirrel in my car and was very upset, he offered to drive the rest of the way. I think he just doesn't want me to get upset on a ride over something he knows we will see often.
