Broke 0 #1 March 1, 2007 Next one that runs out in front of me is going to get plowed over. My head hurts. I was driving home last night and one of these fuckers walked across the road in front of me. I dodged the deer, but then found a lovely tree with which to stop my vehicle. Did no damage to the deer, barely any damage to the tree, but my car is FUBAR... well at least the nose of the car is fucked. I'll pst pics when I take them. I need to clean the car out now. I hate that final car cleaning... I really really hate deer. I am going to plow through the next one that comes across my path one less deer. I'll make t-shirts yeah make me some moneyDivot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My dad always has guns with him and we both shot the deer to put it out of it's mysery. The sad part was seeing the deers mate a few yards away, crying over the loss.

In the last month, two of my friends have hit deer. Both were in pick-ups with grille-guards. Neither vehicle had more than $2500.00 worth of damage. 1-headlight each and minor fender damage and door damage. Both, were able to keep driving... the grille guards did their job. I'm not pushing grille-guards but, they are a damned good idea if you drive a lot in deer country. It's good that you're o.k. after your 'encounter'. edit to add: Is that a '49 Buick in the background in one of your pictures? Damn good lookin' car!
