I seriously have lost count of how many deer I have hit, with the majority (99%) when I lived in Missouri.
I do know I hit deer 6 different times when I worked as a Medic. Thank God those Ambulances were built tough. LOL

My dad totalled out a full size chevy 4x4 pickup one time when he hit a full grown 2000 lb Sow on a gravel road in South Dakota.

2000 pound sow.....damn. need pics

You know, with all the road miles I have put on over the years, I have never hit one. The odds of that, are about like plugging into Pamela Anderson without a hat and coming out of it disease free.

A few years ago, I was following a buddy of mine along the Montana Highline in the middle of the day, between Malta and Havre and I got one hell of a free show. Off to the right, I could see three deer running across a field and getting ready to jump a fence, to cross the road. I slowed down, my buddy didn't. Two of the deer stopped just before entering the road, but one kept running. I watched him put on the burst and try to beat this guys van. The crazy thing ran right into the right side of the van, not the front, but the side. :eek: The deer went down like a sack of bricks at first, but got up and wondered off after about 30 seconds. The van on the other hand, didn't come out of the encounter as well. It smashed in the entire side of the right front door.

I told him, that's what you get for being a guy and driving a blue minivan, even the deer don't have any respect for you. :D

There's a reason most farmers around here have grill guards on the front of their pickups. That $400-500 investment can save thousands down the line.

Thank God our ancestors wiped out the buffalo.

Foghat?

Slow Ride?

My wife and buddy carpool 40 miles to the next town over every day. My buddy tells me this story that these deer that are trying to run across the road while they're following a semi. He tells me 3 make it, one gets blasted. But he said when the 3rd one hit the semi, it slid right up the curved fenders and gets chucked 30 feet straight up in the air.

He thought it was wildly hilarious to see a deer chucked 30 feet in the air.

We had a kid working for us. He was really pretty industrious. Anyway, he was on the way home from work and blasted this deer with his piece of shit pickup. He thought there was a chance his dad would be pissed that he wrecked the pickup. So he tied a chain on the son of a bitching animal and drug it home.

I would have liked to see it. I'm sure the carcass was bouncing through ditches, off signs and culverts, and probably damn near skinned the thing on the sand road.

Anyway, the kid got some satisfaction through retribution for the kamikaze.

I hit one this winter also $2,700 damage

Back in my trucking career, I had just fueled up in OH, headding for TX over weight on a weekend.
Was running around the KY outbound scales on I-75 on a back road, (DOT had been spotty all weekend setting up with no notice catching guys just like me sneaking around over loaded.) when Bambi descided to come look real close at the undercarrige of my Freightliner.
Lost about $300.00 worth of fuel when he/she ripped off my cross over line between fuel tanks, not to mention a $1500 grill in the process.
