My poor car!
I really think that deer should think it through before committing automotive suicide. Some of us have work we have to get to in the morning.

So did the deer die? Because I've seen much worse done and a deer just get up and walk away.
|
One of his legs was completely snapped, so if he isn't already dead, he will be soon enough.
|
Our school bus hit a deer once and completely cut it in half.
I don't think it walked away afterwards. |
Well that sucks. We have to be particularly careful about driving at night around where I live. There's always, always deer running around.
|
My condolences for your loss, Danial. :(

I have no idea how much deer are supposed to weigh, really. It was just a guess. It was a nice sized buck though.

Count your blessings; that's actually a very small amount of damage for a deer collision -- but that's probably due to the driver's skill and reaction speed, ne?
One of my irrational fears whenever I drive in the back o' beyond is coming around a bend and encountering a deer, then being decapitated when the bumper takes out its feet and its body tears off the canopy. My other two irrational fears are having a coffee mug shatter when I pour hot water in it, and having myself get a punctured lung due to tripping and falling on a fork. |
Yeah, skill and reaction speed indeed. I was actually in a 45mph zone, but it was a straight section, so I got to see him jump on the road in time to brake. I hit him at about 25mph or less(not something that was easy to check at the time). He did do a flip coming off my hood(in front of of the car).

Deer arent 300 pounds though, one dropped dead in front of my house and i had to lift its rotting body into the back of a truck :(
Gross. |
Deer range on average around my house at around 190 pounds. Up about 100 miles north they average 210 pounds. So I figured you was just very far north of me.. :-/
|
Nah, I live in North Carolina(There's a map on my album). I don't know weights of deer because I've never been hunting or had to move a deer. I just know they are large animals, and it was a rather large buck, so I took a guess.

It's not that bad. My buddy hit a Cow(yes, he kind that goes moo and destroys the Ozone). Needless to say, the car was totaled, and we had some damn good steak that week.

If I was driving that car, I probably would've steered towards that cow. Stupid, stupid animals. =P

I feel your pain about a car being damaged from an animal though :(
