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.

Damn! Glad you're alright. I once hit a deer twice on the same roadtrip. That royally sucked, but at least my car was still driveable.

Fender work, new grill, new radiator, and new AC. That's what we're figuring.

That's not really all that bad, it's not uncommon for deer strikes to total out vehicles.

Rep!

Glad everyone is ok. One less deer on the road.

Bet that deer was pissed after you hit it a second time. :evil:

I sacrificed a van, but we won. Never would have guessed the van was a virgin.STFU

LMAO

It was on my way to the Lake of the Ozarks; bounced a deer off my right front quarter panel the first time, then on the return trip hit another deer nearly head-on and pretty much broke the thing in half. I was driving a 4Runner at the time.

did you keep the deer?

that van must be the "chiefsplanet bangbus"

Glad you are ok, i ****ing hate those dumb animals

Dam hunters, they should shoot all of them (deer)

Poor deer.


(Saying this multiple times this morning almost got me thrown into traffic...lol)

They will get your ass killed, its them or us

ROFL

That settles it. You guys are going have to hit a deer every week.

Don't know about Missouri, but it's illegal to take roadkill in Arkansas.

glad you are okay, deer killer.

Maybe that is why I have seen a couple decapitated deer this week..














Or it was some horrible hunter who is going to claim it as his trophy kill..

Damn. I call that stretch of road deer alley especially a few miles outside of Clinton there are deer everywhere. I hate driving at night on that road.

If you want to see it, it's at Golden Valley (I think is what it's called). North end of Clinton. Limited time, as they're going to go get it tomorrow.

I might stop and take a look I have to take my daughter back up to Harrisonville tonight.

Too bad you didn't have my number I could gave you guys a ride back

Uhhhh. NSFW. It's deer gore. No nudity. I mean you can probably see the deer's junk but no human's junk.

Don't look if you dont like blood

That's because they are related

That was my thinking as well...:D

That might get kind of exensive. You guys gonna take up a collection?

We haven't lost since I've been wearing my LUV jersey. I think I'll stick with wearing that every Sunday instead.

lol

Wouldn't surprise me with some of the people that's worked for me.

I 'clipped' a deer on the way to work a month ago. Broke my passenger sideview mirror.

I am sure a quite a few of us on CP have donor vehicles for the cause or could build one...ROFL

Missed a great game, maybe you guys should hit more deer? Seems to be lucky.














Glad everyone is ok.

To quote my work - DON'T VEER FOR DEER

.

LMAO

The semi coming up in the background in that pic didn't miss the deer by much when he drove by. I turned my head and took a few steps back. I just knew I was going to be wearing deer guts if he hit him.

It's legal to take them, you just need to contact the conservation guys within 24hours. Meat, antlers, whatever.

Here you go Luv :D I'm glad you all came out of it ok.

Mild and Smoky Venison Jerky

This recipe is for 2 pounds of lean, sliced venison. There is no hot pepper seasoning added to this recipe, so it's nice and mild. The liquid smoke can be left out if you dry this one in the smoker.

1/4 cup of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon of Tender Quick®
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 tablespoons of liquid smoke

Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Combine the marinade and the venison, and refrigerate overnight. Drain the strips of venison well before dehydrating.

Umm yeah, that's the story I'd stick too(except I wouldn't have posted pics of the doe, er, i mean eight pointer). Glad everyones alright.

The thing had antlers when we hit it.

Although I can't remember for sure. It happened really fast. Everyone else said it did though.

You killed Bambi.

You know, If I were a deer... Id think about not walking towards the ****ING LIGHTS!!!

Quick...get your ass back to that location and recover that carcass. Get it to a taxidermist asap and tell them you want that thing stuffed and filled like a punching bag, but tougher.

Then, every gameday, smack that sumbitch with a vehicle of your choosing.

Thanks.

Since I'm a n00b, I've never seen that van of yours! ROFL at your van! That's awesome/hilarious. I'm not laughing at the deer wreck (that sucks), I'm laughing at the awesomeness that is a Chiefs van.

any one of those deer/van pictures accurately described the Chiefs season... ironic...

This is exactly why I have no problem w/ Gonzo hunting deer. They're beautiful, (not to mention tasty), but damn they're stupid. Glad to hear that everyone is ok.

You should have thrown paint on it for wearing a fur coat.

It's not our van. It's a friend of ours who couldn't go to the game. I'm wondering what's funny? I think it's really cool.

Anyway, the insurance company said they would total it out, but our friend wants to take the check and fix it. I guess the paint job was a pain in the ass to get right.

Typical insurance company, they don't like to pay to fix older vehicles. And I don't doubt for a second that paint job was a pain in the ass, it sure as hell isn't something you do in your garage on a Saturday afternoon.

That, and it kind of has sentimental value, ya know? Many a story involving that van. It's legendary. Plus, the guys who went in together to buy it put so much work into it. The cloth on the inside is Chiefs. THey even took some of their parent's red shag carpet and put in it. No way were they ready to retire the old gal.

How old is it anyway? Those Chevys didn't change at all for almost 30 years other than the grille, and it's obliterated. From what I can tell it's an early 90s model?

I have no clue. Let's see if I have another pic.....

Nope. None of the front. Here's one of the co-owner of the van/tailgate grill master (anyone recognize the shirt?) and an example of the cloth and red shag carpet (look at inside of back door).

Eh, it's no big deal, just kinda curious. I did a little research and it looks like Chevy used the stacked headlights from 84-91, so it's at least pushing 20 yrs old, but looks to be in great shape for its age.
