That sucks

The last time my dad hit a deer it destroyed his front bumper and damaged his fender. The deer survived he said.

In WI there are lots of deer hit by cars. That actually doesn't look all that bad compared to many I've seen over the years. What I think is even more scary,....car driver hit by a deer that's running full tilt, out of a meadow or farmers field, and ran right into the driver side of car! This was a no-win crash, for both deer and driver. Happened about 7 or 8 yrs ago. I don't take the back/country roads during riffle deer hunting season here. *Sorry about your car! Looks like sweeeeet car!

Wow, that's terrible. I wish I didn't have to take these country roads, but I'm currently living way out in the middle of no where, and the deer seem to be everywhere. And thanks...it used to look better

oh snap man, i just noticed you said you were laid off 3 days ago! makes this horror story that much worse. have you gone for an estimate yet? insurance covers it right? your insurance would go up though?

kind of makes all these people that are saying it could've been worse look insensitive.

Just seems like everything lately is going from bad to worse. I must have really bad luck lol. I haven't gotten an estimate yet. I'm going to call the insurance company back today to set something up with them. I have a $500 deductible, but I'm hoping it'll work out to where I won't have to pay much, if anything. I'm hoping this will be considered a "no fault" claim, but this has never happened to me before so I'm not sure... I'll find out more today though.

I'm glad you still have your face!!! Ya know what I mean... ? and I second the dear was texting.. or looking at another hot dear mamma or something.. ! and screw it, if it didn't do any internal damage as far as functioning goes... just leave it..

I would leave it, but I can't even open my hood now...

not to bad of damage on the car. who really gives a crap about the deer, they are damn near plague numbers now. our conservation department issued a statement saying hit the deer instead of trying to swerve out of the way becuase thats kills the people. I think the last study i had seen said that something along the lines of 150,000 people a year are killed by result of trying to avoid deer in the road.

Yea, I've heard of this too. I just slammed on my brakes, but not soon enough lol.

I sure hope mine isn't anywhere near that much money to fix.

This is actually what happened to me. His head hit the front corner light, chest hit the door and fender, and his ass hit the bedside and caved it in. This deer was a straight monster. It ruined every panel on the driver side of the truck. It's still rolling though! Just with a reconstructed title.. lol

yea i been seeing tons of deer..got to be careful on the roads pretty much till deer season..and i hope you can get that fixed but what did happen to the deer?...if it died you might as well take it home..

 

[Red Devil]

i am glad nothing worse happened.. did the deer keep running.. because it does not look like he was hurt badly.. do you have insurance.. even though it is not big damage it looks wide spread.. so probably still costly..

The deer kind of skidded over the top of my hood. He did take a few more steps, but then collapsed on the side of the road and died. I do have insurance. I'm going on Monday to have it appraised and to see how much it's going to cost to fix...

Do I look like a deer in real life?
Because I just got knocked by a car about 2 hours ago...

Hahah exact same thing happened to me. Just hit the deers head with my headlight and he wrapped around my truck. Left poop and pee all down the door.
