OT: Hit by a deer

El Toro · Dec 25, 2011

We were returning from my nephew's after exchanging gifts and eating dinner. It was very dark and he hit the car on the left side.
It was too dark to look for the deer and it was on a 4 lane highway. It bent the left rear door and left rear fender. Hal

Hit and run!!! He's in serious trouble now!

that dang deer probably didn't have any insurance, that's why he ran.

Was he still tipsy from the post delivery party?

I had that happen too. Saw him coming though, and got stopped. He just kinda staggered head-first into my door, looked up, turned, and wandered back into the woods.

El Toro, I have a football size dent on My LH rear door on my F-350! The darn deer Hit Me! not me hit it. I was one Pi$$ed individual when he hit me about a yr ago, Late afternoon, not quite dusk, Still my fault I knew that this area had deer crossing points all along a 5 mi area I should had slowed down more! In the wreck that deer did a triple flip, and landed on its side in a slide on the pavement, I saw it get up.. slowly!
and run off into a pasture. I was sure it didn't have Ins. that is why it ran away, Didn't want to get a ticket, I guess!
Later,

My wife had one jump completely over her car one time. Also coming from the left. She still remembers seeing his white belly out the left side window. Only thing he hit was the radio antenna.

donjr · Dec 26, 2011

Yeah, he did. It was kind of hard to read, but it looked kinda like a '0'.

By the Grace of God I've never hit a deer or has a deer hit me...really haven't even had a close miss. Knock on wood, that's for sure. My poor step son had one hit the side of my nearly new pickup back in 1981, He stopped to let a pack of them cross the road in front of him and one of the stupid things dived right into the side of the truck hitting it behind the passenger side door to the tune of 1150.00 worth if damage. I simply hate the deer though, knowing all the damage they can and do do. A good friend's wife was nearly killed when one landed on the hood of their Subaru Brat and came right back through the cab. She was a pretty lady before this happened and it ruined her face, she suffered a lot. I think it will be a better world here if all deer are killed in this area...whatever it takes to do it. I remember when there were none here...it was just fine, if you wanted to hunt them you went "up north"...that was fine too.
