DAMN DEER!!!

[Travis Stevens]

my truck 1... deer 0... well actually .05... bastard got my mirror. he hit me on my drivers side while doing 50mph but miraculously no other damage... my theory is his head hit the mirror and that was enough to sling him arround so that he didnt hit the rest of the truck.

Wow! You got extremely lucky. Good for you...well .05 good.

Was the deer crossing at an approved deer crossing with a sign...or was he J-walking? :grin:



Seriously, I'm glad the damage was minor. I have seen a number of vehicles that hit deer and them little Bambies can really cause some damage.



Many years ago (about 1965) I was driving down I-95 just south of Washington, DC when a deer came out of the tree line and tried to dash across the Interstate. It was daytime but I did not see the deer until the last second and fortunately for me I was passed him before he got to the road, but the guy behind me was not so lucky. In my rearview mirror I saw him hit the deer and it looked like he hit a brick wall. The car had to be towed away (driver was not injured). Nobody saw where the deer went...he must have just got up and ran away?

Knock on wood, I've yet to hit a deer, and I hope I don't. A few years ago I was driving up north with my dad and we saw 2 deer in the ditch on a highway and there was a guy with either a boat trailer or an enclosed trailer in front of us. He slowed down enough so he didn't hit the deer and one of the deer actually ran across and jumped in between his trailer and his truck, it was perfect timing because he made it to the other side. I'll probably never see that again.

I've had deer walk into my vehicle twice. They can cause a bunch of damage. Glad you are OK.

My mom hit a moose when she lived in Utah. Totaled the car, and no scratch on the moose. Crazy!

Travis, you mean that deer wasn't even legally intoxicated(.05)?? Hell, the ones down here in South Jersey will stand in the road and dare you to hit them! Must be the Jersey thing, I guess. Glad it wasn't worse for you and the truck, I think you'll both pull through. Bob :grin::grin:
