come on, I gave you a good deal on those SVT wheels and the short throw!

Live-n-learn I guess. I got my first deer with a 12gauge slug
but a Focus does nicely as well.

Horn dawg!

Nice to know there is a few more older members on here, too bad on the collision the car doesn't look too bad considering.

I just got back from Chicago and saw about 7 deer on the side of the road. Jeez.. you're daughters a murderer! Haha

I am on 5-1 Deer now just got another early this morning. Driveing the truck so no damage just some hair and a little butt fat.

My best deer story, on the way to Rapid City South Dakota on I 90 dead North of Sioux Falls at 1:00 in the morning and suffering badly from white line fever when my buddy yells Deer!! The only thing I could do, the only time I had was to brace for impact and blurt out a blood curdling AHHH! At 70 miles an hour we were lucky that the doe hit us (or should I say hit her) low and didn't come up over the hood. Trashed the front end, punctured the air conditioning condensing coil a nice dent in the passenger fender where her head swung around the front of my Explorer and whacked it luckily though it was still drivable. I've got a 17 foot canoe tied to the top of my Explorer pulling a trailer full of stuff for a dog hunt test including 12 crates full of live stinky ducks. The worst part was the whole week and a half was that the weather was the hottest of the summer, this was mid August, and no air conditioning. I don't care how fast we were driving or how many windows we had open it was hot!

Friggen Deer

Talked with Al F. on Sat. Sounds like he can help. Will know more Tuesday. Body shop estimate for insurance will be this week, so we'll weigh that vs. getting parts on our own.

^^ Awesome story. Sounds like our Volvo hit, but we didn't have ducks!

I've got a Rapid City deer story. Just yesterday we were driving out to eat buffalo wings, and saw a deer wander into the road. My friend stopped, and we watched the deer go across the median, stand there, and then just when an SUV was coming, tried to dart across the road. It jumped and hit the top side corner of the SUV, did a 540, and skidded across the highway for a few feet. Then it got up and ran away

HAHa, sounds about right...My sister had acouple commit suicide to her GrandAm this winter...
