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.

I hit a deer a few years back in my Ford Ranger. I actually saw the herd crossing the road and slowed down as I approached. When it seemed like they were past I let up on the brake and no sooner hit the gas then it was like a flash going off plus the "bang" and those huge eyes. Driveable, but the grill and headlights were basically gone. To this day I can't drive that stretch of road without slowing down and anticipating it happening again.
It's fortunate for the most part people were ok and it was the expense of the accident that hurt most of all. I worry constantly about my 17 year old and her friends who drive. No matter how I caution them to be observant, especially at night, I know they drive too fast and don't pay as close attention as they should. I keep my fingers crossed they don't experience something like that at least untile they have a few more years of driving under their belts.
