it's crazy how many turkey I see here in Jersey lately... I never seen one till like 5 years ago now i see 20 30 at a clip...

Missed one by 8-10 feet just the other nite!! and in my low-slung little car it would have very possabily been deadly!! I was doing 70 mph on a two lane country hiway too!

word of advice about those four legged car crunchers....if you know without a doubt that you're going to hit one, you have no chance in hell of stopping, don't slam on the brakes, because that will lower the front of your car and the deer will have a better chance of going up and over the hood and into the windshield. but if you floor it, the nose of the car will rise, and give you a better chance of not having bambi in your lap. but this is only for a last resort if you dont have a chance of stopping.

rebgirl ~ i live in north central PA , in the damn woods. around here, its either you have hit a deer, or you havent yet and you will.

the next time i buy a vehicle, i'm buying a truck, and you can bet your botom dollar i'm putting a big ol deer basher on the front of it.

i went past where we hit the deer yesterday and all three of them were gone, i think some hick must have picked them up later that night.

i hit a large buck couple of years back,whilst travelling at approx 30mph lucky for me the deer didn't roll up onto the car only damage to the car was a dent in the hood,the car was a piece of shit anyway i was more concerned about the deer,it ran back into the forest, it probally died of shock.
