Default I hate deer!

Long story short, was driving to Denver on saturday morning. Just minding my own business all of a sudden I see this deer laying on the road, I would have moved over but there had to be a big'o semi to the right off me, so i slam on the brakes and get over as fast as i could, well...i still hit the stupid thing...so now my bumber is off wack, my left fog light doesnt work, and my fender well cover was ripped off. It sucks, but the car still drives fine, so thats good.hehe well just thought i'd share it with u guys, drive with your brights on when your in the middle of nowhere! Anyone else have a similar experience?

I totaled 1 car hitting a deer at around 120km/h. I also got hit on the side by a deer...The good thing is that deers are government property so the insurance does not go up.

You were probably going too fast. Should slow down in that situation.

wow...thats good I was wondering if my insurance woulnd go up or not. Ya, i ended up going about 65-70mph when i hit it, those things come up so fast. The speed limit was 70mph, just for those of you who are wondering. Too bad I have a $1000 deductible though.
