Glad your ok and at least it was your car. One of my friends woke up on the road with a broken clavicle after one of those hairy kamikazes' took out his VFR.

My dad's last half tonne got taken out by a HERD of elk that ran into the side of him, stupid animals!

An old friends dad was driving his work truck down a county road and a buck rammed the side while he was driving. There were a set of holes in his passenger door. LOL

I dont think he meant to ram him, just just to run across the road.

I can't so for all deer but there some kinds that can not see well. They use their ears and nose more.

Yeah, step on a tiny twig and turn your head in the woods and they're off like they're on fire...but they don't fear cars trucks and tractors much. I think once they go in flight mode they just pick a direction for a while, doesn't matter whats there, Trip's car for instance

I got a scratch on my right quarter panel of my '97 Firehawk when a buck tried to beat me across the road once. Luckily I was in 3rd gear and beat him by an antler

Reminds me of Ron White's bit on deer hunting. I can't find the Blue Collar Comedy Tour version, which has the exact same words just a little better done.

A few years back, my mom was telling me about a girl who was riding on the back of her boyfriend's motorcycle and was knocked off when a deer t-boned them.
Fortunately she survived.
