HITTING A DEER

[Tangled]

in the last 5 years i have hit two deer with my vehicles and the first one wasnt so bad the deer survived to my knowledge and all i lost was a headlight ring and bracket and a parking light.one crossed the road and i figured since they usually run in twos or threes there was another coming so i had time to slow down quit a bit ,i would say i was running 25 mph,this past wensday i was on my way to work and had two to cross my drive way on the way out.i love seeing deer but as i proceeded on to work and about 4 miles out i was running maybe 50 to 55 mph and out of the gray morning light and in the middle of a houseing neighborhood pops a 100 or so lb doe with no warning,i never had time to hit the brakes untill to late she went at least 20 ft in the air and landed in the ditch back first,needless to say she died a few mintues later but my truck is a wreck,from the bumper to the radiator it all has to be replaced,about 1000 dollars worth of damage,none to the fender or the hood.it can all be replaced but that deer is gone,i hunt and fish and harvest several deer a year but i still feel bad about killing this one. emoHungry

Sounds like some pretty bad luck to me.
I wish deer stayed in the woods like they should.

That's exactly why we hunt them. Less property damage and likelihood of personal injury.

Dont feel bad dude. More deer are killed annually by vehicle collisions than hunters. If you need help thinning them out pm me.

Johnny, James Coutler is working for me now. Related to Brooks but a real good guy. Does auto painting on the side...Good too! Price will be right also. I'll see how busy he is and send you his number tomorrow.

For paint work you also got Rodbuilder on here. Rudy does antique cars and hot rods. I have seen his work several times. He does it at his home garage, store, point room. He also could give you a CFF quote if you are shopping around. emoAngel Jmax

 

[Buoy-Master]

That's right! Ol Rudy is slick Johnny.
