Hit a deer

I am glad that you are okay. I have heard many cases when deer run out in front of people and they get seriously hurt. I am glad you are okay. I think people are jumping to conclusions about her. She was frustrated when she said she hate deer. I would be frustrated too if it caused that much damage to my car. Money is too hard to come by when you are going to college. The main thing is that she is okay and that is good news.

3500 lbs (The average weight of a car) x 65 MPH yields a lot of kinetic energy, normally = a dead deer. Unfortunately the deer population has gotten to overpopulation for various reasons, and this is the result.

No, being killed by flying hooves from an injured deer is NOT over the top, it happens at least once or twice per year.

IRescue, glad to see you are alright, hopefully you get the car back on the road soon.

either 1: some people have never driven through the country and experienced determined deer.
or 2: some people dont currently WORK to pay for a vehicle and insurance.

Would be interested to know their opinions after that...


our only concern after we hit the last deer was if WE were ok. We did not go chasing off into the night, in the woods, to see it the deer was ok. We had a child in the vehicle and I hate to think what would of happened had my sister not kept her cool while bringing the vehicle to a stop.

Doesnt make me an animal hater that I couldnt care less about the deer in that situation. Bring me a deer thats been abused as someones pet and I'll care. but if IT hits my car - Sorry.
