So, we hit a deer....
 

Only four of us went up to the game this week. Took the van of a friend of ours who was unable to go. Dad was driving, I was in the passenger seat, and two friends in the back. I was resting my eyes, when someone in the back yelled, "DEER!" I opened my eyes just in time to think, "Oh my god!" It was big. We're guessing it was an eight pointer. When we went back to get pictures, we noticed that the rack must have been ripped off its head. It managed to split the radiator.

Hit it between Clinton and Harrisonville. Had it towed to Clinton, and a friend of ours (owner of the van who couldn't go to the game) came and got us.

Pics to follow....

The deer....

The van....

That sucks. Glad everyone is OK.

Getting the tow....

Yeah. Could have been much worse. I think we were pretty lucky.

Damn, that sucks. :(

Glad your OK.

Any pics of the rack? ;)

remind me never to let you borrow my car.

Glad everyone is ok, though... how you getting to the game?

Nope. We couldn't find (the deer) rack. :p

If they find a piece of it in the radiator, I told the friend of ours (who is the one that came to get us) that he needs to put it on a string and hang it from the rear view mirror.

We're not. :(

Where I live I have deer run out in front of our car all the time. Serious problem in my neighboorhood.

I got this picture from a friend who runs a wrecker. Deer strike on the interstate.

Good thing papasmurf is a capable driver; in the last week, I've heard of two incidents where folks swerved to miss a deer and rolled their vehicles.

Ouch.

Yeah. We were going about 80, and dad figured we had nowhere to go. He just held onto the wheel let off the gas, and ran him over. Things could have been a lot worse.

If someone would have had to pee when we passed through Lowery City, if we had hit a light red passing through Clinton, etc. Oh well, we're all okay, so we'll be able to talk about it later. We figure after 3 or 4 years, it will have been a 20 point buck charging at us...lol.

Glad you all are OK, and what Delano said...pops did the right thing. Hell it looks like that big ol' American-made tank barely felt it.
