Sorry to hear, must have ruined your trip for sure. Glad your OK.

Two years ago we had a woman killed inside the car as the deer thrashed around with his hoofs cutting her head andthroat.
Have hit 2 over the years with alot of damage, both came out of nowhere.
So far since using the deer whistles i've been ok and see them pick up heir ears at a distance when you approach. The electric ones are the best.
