Too many freaking deer

She had minor bumps and bruises and walked away but it could have easily gone the other way.

Damn. Glad she's OK.

**** dude. Glad she's OK. I bet she was petrified.

Hitting them isn't all that cool either. Injury from impact can occur. I've also heard of people getting a bad case of death from the antlers coming through the windshield.

Last year in Scott City it happened to a young guy that was recently married and his wife had just had a baby.

Optimally. You want to get the car shut down before you hit them, then comes a controlled miss. Then ditch. If you head towards the ditch, don't try to jerk it back on the road, you'll flip. Last option is the deer.

Pretty much you're ****ed either way.

They are thick down here too, luckily they are just slightly larger than a dog..

I've mentioned before, driving from Manhattan, NY, to St. Louis we passed practically more deer than cars. A good twenty or so carcasses on the side of the road, another 4-5 in the road, including one we had to straddle as we came over a rise and it was lying in the middle of the lane. Not an easy feat to straddle a deer carcass in a Lotus Elise.

My insurance agent when I lived in Texas always recommended hitting the deer.

You hit the deer and damage your car . . . act of God (you had no control over the deer's actions) - No raise in your rates.

You swerve to miss the deer and wind up hitting the guardrail and damage your car . . . failure to maintain control of your vehicle - Raise in rates.

My daughter hit a deer last Super Bowl nite .. it totaled the front-end of her car .. just having libality on it im out the costs of fixing the car .. I know u'll say you should have more insurance on her car .. but it is a 94 chevy .. it had low milage but not really worthly of full coverage .. that said, I think the State should have libality insurance on their deer .. thru hunting licences and motor vechile tagging that would cover the costs of deer accidents .. BOOG ....

I'd like to mount twin 30 cals. on my hood and a snow plow to the front bumper of my car. I'd blast 'em and just keep on truckin'!!
