I'm 43 years old and have driven back and forth across MT for years and years and up until 2 weeks ago had never hit a deer.


Heading out to move cows at dark, early morning. Motoring along about 65-70 mph down a wide open highway and I see 3 mule deer bucks crossing the road in front of me.

It was like slow motion because I spotted them early and had I not been pulling a stock trailer with a saddle horse inside I might have been able to come to a complete stop by the time the third buck slowly took his time crossing.

Had the horn blasting for at least 10 seconds. Deer were in lala land. Hit the buck going maybe 20-30mph(speedo doesn't work in that pickup).


Knocked him straight down and I drove over him with the F350 and trailer tires.


Felt bad as I do not like even running over a bird but sure as hell wasn't going swerve and risk screwing up my new horse.


Didn't even leave a scratch on the mega bumper grill guard.
