they were stupid up there though. some would just be chillin in the road and not move. I would pull right up to them and they just stand there.


Had this happen on a back road in Mississippi. It was raining, and a deer was just standing there. Had to come to a complete stop then go around it.
Best I've got is a hog story. I was on the way to work on Hwy. 90 and was behind a car packed full of old ladies. A herd of hogs suddenly shot out of the marsh and darted across the road. One of them just ran smack into the side of their car. It got up and hauled arse. The old ladies ran off into the grass on side the road. I pulled on side to see if they were okay, and they were really shaken up. Had a nice dent in the quarter panel.

The only time for me is when a herd of deer was crossing the road and I came almost to a complete stop to let them clear. As I was passing them a yearling rammed the passenger door of my pickup. I stopped and the deer was motionless, so I loaded it in the bed and went on the house. During the ride the deer had come to, and was thrashing around in the bed, kicking a hole through the side of an ice chest. When I opened the tailgate it bailed out and tried to run through the yard with a broken shoulder. After a .22 shot to the head I strung it up and had June backstrap.

A few years ago a buddy of mine at the deer camp hit a doe on his way to the camp. It was a Sat night and there were about five of us at the camp drinking, cooking and watching the LSU game. He decided he was gonna be funny. He slings the door open to the camp and throws the small doe into the living room where we were all sitting. After she slid across the floor SHE STOOD UP. Well needless to say we all hit the door. My buddy went back in the camp and drug her outside and slit her throat. Good times. We talk about that day all the time

I was in a third world country and hit a cow. I was in a jacked up truck with a huge aftermarket bumper. Goin about 60 when I hit its backside. It relieved it's self and flew off the road and down a mountain. I tried to find it to put it out of its misery, but had no success. Cops came, paid a $20 bribe and left. I've never hit a deer.

About 20 yrs ago driving down gravel road in 1972 International Scout headed to deer stand before daylight. This was our camp vehicle so the Scout was not well maintained and the brakes were almost non existent. Those things were solid tanks and we had this huge steel bumper on the front. As I'm clipping down the road I see what I think is a dog slowly running down the side of the road about 50 yards ahead of me. I was late getting to my stand so I didnt slow down and decided just to pass it. Just as I start to pass it, this little spike stops and turns his body perpendicular to the vehicle. I slam the brakes but they hardly work and as I start to slow down the deer just stands there. As Im slowing the front bumper makes contact with just his head. I look back after I hit him and I could see him wobbling off. he looked like a heavy weight boxer in the 12th. But he lived and wandered off all staggering and looking drunk.

Going through the Utica Cut-Off from North LA down to NOLA, a deer hit me. I was going about 60 or so and I didn't even see her run out. It was a big doe and she went full speed into the side of my vehicle and caused about $4K worth of damage. I looked behind me on the road and she hobbled to get up and was like "WTF" and then she took off.

So the deer hit me as well in this story.

I heard this story one time...

Some guys were riding around a certain WMA in LA. They come across a nice little buck in a field. Story goes they had been drinking a few beers. Driver puts the pedal to the floor cause they were supposedly in an old truck and didn't care if they hit a deer. Drivers last words were "Oh frick" moments before impacting a mechanical deer the game wardens had set out. Supposedly, the head of the mechanical deer flew over the hood and landed in the bed of the truck.

I hit a buck with the drivers side fender. It slung him around and his head came through the drivers side window. If I had puckered up my lips like I did my a-hole. I could have kissed him on the lips.

my story:
driving a Lincoln Town Car to work on Rosedale Road one morning. Its dark and I see a 4 wheeler going thru the wood s on the south side of the road. Within seconds 3 deer run in front of me. I nailed the second one. (Admittedly, it could have been 2 deer as it was predawn hours and I only saw a flash of a deer in the headlights). Anyway, I hit the fricking thing and I can hear him rolling around under the car. I drive on to Canazaros in Rosedale and call Geico to report the accident. Minor damage to the grill and fender. Never did find/see the deer I hit.

CSB, I know.

A buddy of mine was a few months older than me so he got the joy of driving us around when he turned 16. Parents got him an old Explorer. He was driving through our neighborhood and was changing CDs, not watching the road. Ran into a telephone pole and took out the bottom 4 feet of it. The pole snapped and was resting on his hood. His parents were pretty mad but not too harsh on him. They paid the deductible and got it fixed. Just body work. Didn't affect the frame or radiator. Not a month later he was driving back from somewhere out of town, on some country road in south Alabama and ran into a deer. Thankfully the damage wasn't too bad but they weren't going to get it fixed twice in a short amount of time. I saw it the next week and there was still hair and blood in the grill.

A story that still cracks me up when I think about it. I think I may have told this before on here:

We were at Denali National Park in Alaska years ago and I got up early every morning for coffee and had talked to the same worker in the restaurant several mornings in a row.
One morning, he was unusually surly and I asked what his problem was.
Quote: "I got off work yesterday and was driving to see my GF."
In a load voice he says "SIX MILLION Acres, SIX MILLION ACRES in this effen Park and that effen moose has to walk out in front of MY car!"
He got a little perturbed when I started laughing.....

I struck a deer while driving 85 mph on a back road. I hit the deer square across the frame & it caught my winch. The intestines exploded across the hood of my truck and the deer landed 30-40 yards on the other side of the culvert.

About 10 years ago my dad hit a deer with our plane when he was coming into land. Fortunately he had enough speed to pull up a little, but it still did quite a bit of damage to the undercarriage.

The deer was unrecognizable as a deer

Leaving Houston at 4:30 am going fishing in the gulf, driving 90 mph in a honda accord and passed a small buck at 6", the fricker never moved.

One more step and we would have both been toast
