Angry PUNKD by a deer

well i just hit a deer (rather IT hit ME). ill post up some pictures. funny thing is, i JUST waxed the car today. ****! i feel bad for the deer but i couldnt really stop as there were cars behind me and there was no place to immidiatly pull over. poor thing. i looked on my way back but my headlight was damaged so i couldnt see much (but i dont think it was in the road)... last i saw of it, it was flipping through the air over the passenger side of my car. this is the last thing i need right now. -heath

[QUOTE=RotorMotor]well i just hit a deer (rather IT hit ME).


Same thing happened to me one night. I crested a hill on the Taconic Pkwy in my BMW and there was this big buck standing right in the middle of the highway. I quickly turned and aimed for where he wasn't, and what did that stupid deer do? He ran right into the right side of the car and got clipped pretty good. He dented the A pillar with his hoof, took off the side mirror, and did some other damage.

There's way too many deer in New York State. We need more hunters.

i guess im just a freakin hippi, i dont know . come on, you wouldnt feel bad at all??? so WHAT if they like bright lights, and have bad judgement... dont we all hehe. i mean, it WAS ME afterall that was driving through "deer country", at night, for fun ... id say the responsibility was about 60/40 for the deer and i. ill take the lesser 40% responsibility as the deer definatly had more to loose than i did (not to mention the fact that i DID have the right away ).

I was just cruising backwoods Va, late at night. I clipped him. His face did that to the windshield. Im quite sure hes moved on to a better or worse place.

Yeah, that doesn't look too bad. It could have been a woman driver that pulled in front of you, as in my case. Since we're showing pictures of f'ed up Montego Blue cars, here is a picture from the aftermath on my car (November 2004).
