Found a buck but I wish I didn't....uugghh!

With a fresh coffee in hand and detector in trunk I headed out about 7am to detect more of that estate (with the one room schoolhouse).....It is about 15 minutes from my house over back rural roads....was going about 40-45 mph, saw nothing but a brown blur out of the corner of my eye (approx.150 lb. deer) and , well, the pics speak for themselves......I am fine, the deer is not....man, those airbags sound like a shotgun going off in your car, wow.....

So tomorrow, getting a rental and my car gets to have a makeover....I included a pic of what my baby looked like before the deer.....

Also, the deer meat will not be wasted, the tow truck guy took it and didn't charge me for the tow ;D

HH all

Damn suicidal deer!! One of my coworkers had one do that a couple of weeks ago. Be sure you are sitting down when they give you the estimate on how much it's gonna cost to fix your car!!

HH, ya'll!

Well, hopefully you carry comprehensive also. Collision pays out if it is your fault, say like if you swerved from hitting the deer and went in the ditch.
Comprehensive covers acts of nature, hail storm, fire, theft and most importantly animal damage.

Called the 800 number on the back of my card this morning, reported the accident and I'm covered and they gave me a claim number to give to whatever body shop and rental car place that I decide on.

Lucky your OK- up here in Minnesota the "ditch rats" are everywhere. I've had too many close calls. Glad this deer wasn't wasted- so many are!! Well, being hit in the first place is of course too bad.. . you know what I mean!!

To bad about the accident.

Nice looking car. That pearl white color does well on luxury cars. Crome also helps set it off.

Atleast you'll get her fixed.

Nice title..Not so funny circumstance. I have hit some deer in the past and have totaled some cars. Its due to the area in which I live. Well atleast your not hurt. RH

Sorry about your car, but hey, it could have been a lot worse. Those deer can do much worse to a car, and the driver. Hope everything smoothes out for you!

Re: Found a buck but I wish I didn't....uugghh!

Lol, another deer accident. Happens more and more often every day. Iv personally never hit a deer before, (then again im not 16 yet so that would explain it) but my dad hit one once. He was in our chevy suburban, that car cant dent whether you hit a deer or another car. lol. The deer somehow walked away... Sorry about your car...
