Just Hit a Deer
 

Boy they do alot of Damage................

In your new Explorer that sucks. I hope it was a head shot so at least you got to keep the meat

It was very surprising the damage it did to the Honda Accord I owned a few years back. I hit a nice buck doing about 40. The deer had managed to go another 25 yards before lying down. Pretty hardy animals. Still alive in a ditch, the cops came & shot it. I had venison for months.

The front of my car was totaled, bumper hanging off, radiator smashed, hood destroyed, both fenders bent. I always drive extra slow through that stretch of road now.

See, it doesn't pay to pass on doe's.

Thats terrible,
I hope no plugs where in the truck..
I hit a deer once in a 65 ford econoline van the kind with the straight nose..totally f'd me radiator, lights, bumber, trims.
I was 19 yrs old living on my own..we picked it up an ate it..

Blunt Nose

deer season over ....i got one once at 40 mph...head shot... we 8 lt....

Did it have a tattoo on it's back? :shocked:

It does now in the form of "Ford"

Hope you're ok, Habs

On the way to the Gay Head Light, 50 yards past the deer crossing sign, a buck decided it was Rudolph and flew from the field to in front of my Jeep in about 2 seconds. It resulted in $1,800 damage and a deer that managed to get away without a trace.

John it was a good thing you weren't making a needlefish delivery or you could have stepped out of the car looking like a porcupine.

Hope it didn't screw up your back.

John,

You should make some special tail hooks with it and feed them to the blues. Glad your ok.

hows it taste?

i hit a deer on 295 in greenville RI one night going to the beach fishing in November. I had a Dodge Power with 33" tires. I hit this buck at about 65MPH. It was like a grenade went off. Totalled the truck and broke off 8 points stuck right in the grill. Real scarey as I didn't know what the hell I hit till I saw the antlers stuck in the grill.

:hidin: tonight's special----deer on the grill

I am on my way :drool:

Kidding aside ,glad you are ok John

Hi Joe :wavey:

I hit a fox once going 75 80 mph on rt 16 in NH this thing exploded on impact and didn't even put a mark on the van I was driving

Coming around the bend from I95 onto Rt 4 one night, I had a raccoon running straight across my bows from left to right. Split second, managed to steer tighter into the corner, missed the raccoon......and walloped his mate. One almighty thump.

It took me ages to work out what the hell I hit, since I knew that I had missed the one that I had seen. I saw it on the road the next morning as I drove back up.

Not a scratch on the old Isuzu rodeo.

Hope that you're ok, Habs.

I've fixed many cars/trucks that have hit deer.
Makes a mess, especially if the deer goes over the hood and hits the windshield !
Nothing worst than glass splinters everywhere inside the vehicle!

John,

Its easier if ya just shoot em, buy hey this is America if you want to hit them with an Explorer more power to ya!!! :laughs:


Hope you're ok and it didnt f up your back any further.

That's what he gets for not crossing at the sign.
