I hit a Shetland pony about ten years ago. I was lucky. He came out in the middle of the freeway, but backed up. I hit his head and neck going 70. It did 1200.00 damage. Dead pony of course. I hit my first deer two weeks ago in downtown Georgetown, Texas. She came out of the HEB parking lot. I was only going about 30, came out of nowhere. Dead deer. upload image online

Hitting deer used to be common here. Much fewer deer now, we haven't hit one in 4 or 5 years.

Ill brake but no major avoidance moves. I can always buy another vehicle......maintain control.
Hunted next to a highway. Heard some get hit. Heard one car smash embankment.. Guy across road swerved farther down, tree......dead.
Kids principle swerved, hit tree .....died months later.
Told my kids deer come apart. Hit em. Dont hit anything else

Hit a massive buck in 2009 during a sideways Nov blizzard. Went back to check on the deer and the beast promptly attacked me.
Went round and round tangled together in barbed wire in the ditch until I finally dispensed him with a Leatherman Juice -- that's the model with the 2" blade. Yeah, it was ugly.
Note to self, 'never forget the sidearm again.'

I've killed seven deer; nine if you count the unborn fawns. Most were hit with a 1991 Dodge pickup and repair costs were minimal. 2 were hit with a Hyundai Tuscon and total repair costs amounted to about $12,000. GD

Hit a horse with the side mirror. Shattered the mirror. Horse was nowhere to be seen. Deer with a side mirror. 2 deer with the bumper. One glancing one square. Horse with the mirror was the only one that broke anything. Deer hit square was the only one I saw die.
If you love someone set them free If they come back no one else liked them Set them free again

I hit a big cow horn spike about an hour before daylight driving an Oldsmobile about 15 years ago. I slammed on the brakes and ducked behind the dash. I might have gotten slowed down to 65. He was stretched out. Antler punched a hole in passenger side quarter panel and a hoof got the one on the driver's side. Hood latch broke and hood hit the windshield. I thought it was the deer. I like to never got that bastard in the trunk!

Nailed a 8 point buck one night about 20 years ago. More recently I found turkeys in Iowa are dumb as a rock.
I am..........disturbed.

Ranch Road One , parallels the Perdenalis going by "The Western Whitehouse" , never saw so many ground up whitetails, so concentrated on any other road I've been on.

July 4th last year, 11:50 AM I hit a doe that was on "dead run" coming out of corn field, I was doing 50 mph, $6000 to replace the hood, fender, headlight and bumper. Had to pull the fender off the tire before leaving.
