Wife Hit Deer

[devildog1]

Wife was driving home from school last night @ around 6:00 P.M.when all of a sudden there was a deer at her drivers door. Deer hit door and spun around and hit driver side front fender, at this point deer became airborne and was launched into other lane.Now deer was hit by another car and was thrown into air where yet another car hit it too. Her 2010 Honda Accord EXL needs a new door and drivers front fender, probably $3000.00 in damages boy is she sick. The good thing is deer was low and didn't come through drivers window.

I hit 3 deer in a 30 month period several years back. Then my wife hit one herself. That ended all the bitching because she figured out firsthand how fast it happens, and how little can really be done to avoid it most times. It is certainly no fun. I had a close call with a doe last Fall, no damage to the truck but I hit her hard enough to knock her off her feet.

Was coming up highway 23 in WA one day with my brother and there were about five sheriff's vehicles off to the side. As we went past the one in the road had a deer stuck in the front grill and the horns had come up through the hood.

my stepbrother was riding his harley a couple years ago , a six pointer hit him from the side and punctured his lung and spleen he was found on the side of the road with the bucks antlers broken off in his chest . , now 100 percent recovered, so be thankfull you are only out some panels.

Similar incident with my wife last year--
Change critter to Bighorn Sheep, 06 Jeep Liberty, door dents front and rear,mirror gone $1200 paid by comprehensive insurance. (after agent finished laughing).

Bighorn had no insurance as reported to State Patrol and no injuries to either party.

Under the new Obama plan, the deer and sheep (especially the kamikaze Bighorn breeds) will be forced to have insurance. just a FYI



Actually, i hit a dead deer that someone left on the road and didnt bother to stop and prevent someone else from hitting it. I was driving my dads Taurus at the time and it launched the right side tires into the air and i was doing a modified stuntmans drive....but into the opposite lane of traffic. Lucky for me no one was coming or id have been toast.

Lots of damage to my rig and the car behind me that also hit it. I even had deer hide embedded in the bead of my tires.Damaged oil pan, 2 wrecked rims, assorted other crap and a pissed off father to boot.

My GF hit 3 of them in just over a week during hunting season. When the cop showed up for the third time and saw she was fine he told her that she would need to get a hunting license if she kept taking out deer. The first one took out the driver side headlight and the third one took out her passenger's side headlight. I had to wire up some temp lights until we could get it into the body shop.

Never have hit a deer. But had one hit me. Mine was the only vehicle on the road at the time, I was traveling about 45 mph when a deer came running out of the woods and hit the side of my PU truck. It spun around and went back into the woods. Don't know if the deer was injured or not. My truck has a severly dented rear door side panel.

This was in the local news. I think it was two years ago, but maybe it was three years ago.

Guy hit a big buck with his car. He got out of the car to check it out and noticed that he knocked off one of the antlers. Another car drives by and catches the antler with it's tire just perfectly that it flies throug the air and sticks into his stomache region. The news showed either the antler that stuck him, or the other one.

As amazing as all that is, the part that I remember most is that this was one heck of a buck. That antler was massive, heavy and stained really dark. I'm not sure if it was a book deer, but 160 easily.

Here in East Texas, more people hig wild hogs then deer. I find a few dead ones on the road by my house a couple times a year.

Haven't hit one at any speed yet but had one that couldn't decide if it should go down on the right or up on the left as I was trying to go to work one morning. It started to go one way and I thought it was gone and it turned around and ran back into me. No damage, I took off before he could get up and come after me again:laughing:

Humm,
I often think about that when I'm out riding my Road King, just keeping my fingers crossed. Actually the title should of said" Deer hit Wife's car", as after seeing this thread, she said.

Here in the RI Socialistic Republic, the state pays for your damages as all deer are wards of the state.

My neighbor was driving 55 MPH down the road in his conversion van. A deer crashed through the side picture window and then went nuts trying to get out. He managed to not crash the van but the inside was a mess.

My in-laws were on the interstate when the car ahead of them flipped a deer up in the air, it came through there windshield and it was like a deer bomb went off inside their car. No serious injuries, but that took time to figure out with deer blood everywhere. Entire interior had to be replaced.

Take care

Dead deer carcasses that had been hit by vehicles are very prevalent at all times during the year in my area. Luckily, I have never hit any yet in the truck. Knock on wood.

Lucky she wasn't in a BMW going at high speeds.

Back in the 80's, two of my uncles where moose hunting in Saskatchawan. They drive around the back roads until the see a moose and then one of them will shoot it. They where in my uncle Al's family van with windows all the way around it, driving down the road real slow, looking for a moose. Neither of them saw it coming, but all of a sudden, they where hit from the side by a very large bull moose. He was in full rut and had decided to attack the van. He hit it over and over again to the point of breaking out the glass and denting in the side of the van!!!! Both of my uncles where armed with rifles, but neither of them could react in time to do anything. They said it was over in seconds.

They made the front page of the Prince Albert newspaper with a caption that said soemthing like Hunters get Hunted, and a picture of them standing beside the van with all the damage.

It is amazing but where we live and where wife's car was hit by deer,there are lots of Whitetails.( noticed that I said it right this time) ha, ha, deer hit her car. There are lots of deer around our area, and the hunters are getting fewer and fewer, including myself. I have to keep both of my buddies, (dogs) on K9 anti tick and flea meds all year due to the heavy deer & turkey population that cross our property.Last year near our driveway three deer at the same time were hit trying to cross our road,all three ran into the side of a tractor trailer.I guess the good thing is that some pick up the ones that are not mangled too bad and bring them somewhere, hopefully to a soup kitchen.
