Blunt Nose

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.

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.

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

I never hit a deer before but I ran over a turtle once . we were both going slow !

[surfer247]

My friend hit a deer,and they do cause alotta damage to the car.I read an article that said more people die by deers ,than any other animal,meaning they cause more deaths than by snakes,alligators and dogs etc. etc. so you got lucky the accident was'nt more serious.

[Striperhound]

being in the rental car business you see alot. We had a 85 year old lady rent a Buick Century one day, hits a deer, deer comes through the windshield, she ducks and it ends up in the back seat, head rests bent backwards. At that point the thing is not dead and goes crazy kicking out every remaining window in the car just like the movie Tommy boy. There was so much deer hair in the car it looked like someone shaved it. Lady had to clean her depends after that one.

i never hit a deer or anything that big. but i did hit a turkey on RT.2 going a little to fast in one of works trucks, never even saw the thing. all i saw was feathers. the guy i work with in the truck behind he was still laughing when we got ot the job.

Moose are worse

My cuz took a deer in the side of his HD. his better half watched it come out of a corn field jump and hit under his leg knocking him into the other lane. upright and dazed he stopped to figure out "what happened". never saw it coming with the helmet on. not to much damage to the bike and the deer got away.

One deer season my brother and a friend were going to pick up his car at a rural garage. Being deer season, of course they both had to keep a lookout for deer in the meadows on their respective sides of the road. And what do you think they ran into...

Joe Flip hit a deer pretty good 7-8 years ago doing 60 or 70 IIRC. His cooler rack took most of the impact but the deer still came up and hit the A pillar of his truck... Can be nasty...

Now in fall 2003 I had a deer hit my truck rim. N odamage to the truck but the cop still shot the deer.

[Slingah]

ouch....glad ur okay Habs....

Deer suck. Got my s-10, 1 week later smashed a massive buck 300 yards from my apartment, $2000 damage. Almost 1 year to the day about 100 yards from my new house , hit another deer . It hit the same exact area on my truck that i had dropped 2k getting fixed the year before #@%& !!!!!!
