Glad you're ok Allan mate but has anyone told Bambi you took out her Step-Mom....???

Glad you're okay, Allan. And it's good to hear the poor deer didn't suffer.

We have around 40 million sheep in New Zealand and I've yet to hit one!! Must be our good fencing!!!

I don't know how you control yourself.

My #2 son is watching out for them, right about now, from a treestand.

Glad you're OK bud The car can be fixed.

We have that same problem here this time of year also. They're out everywhere, all times of the day and night.

If you hit a deer and it doesn't survive in NYS, you can take it for the meat.

Take care

Oh Deer!

In general, at least with my insurance, if you hit a moving object, animal, rock, etc (vs something stationary in the road) it is covered by comprehensive insurance and not collision. Therefore your rates should not change. I had a $9000+ comprehensive claim a few years ago and I had a windshield claim and a $2000 comprehensive animal claim this year. No rate change, and still get the discounts for being accident free.

Hope you're right Brian

Sheep! You have those big New Zealand front license plates to act like a cow grill on a train.

Thanks Paul Very true. Some people do...I'm not capable of dressing her out. That highway is part of the NYS Thru-Way system so you know how fast and crazy people drive there.

I'm not so bummed now...just glad no one got hurt and the Doe remained off on the shoulder.

Sucks about the Yankees

Glad your alright, growing up on SW Pa this happened all the time. Some years back they changed the law to allow you to keep the deer. I remember waking up one morning and seeing one laying in the neighbors back yard the he hit and killed the evening before. A buddy on mine had a new care totaled a few years ago. They sell a beacon signal type thing I hear that is supposed to scare the deer away from the road when it hears the sound, probably doesn't work.

Glad your well.

I wouldn't know how to dress it down either but a few of my friends do. A quick phone call and they would've been happy as a clam

As far as the Yanks go...get rid of Gerardi

Betcha Buckwheat could dress out a deer! As far as Girardi...he's no Torre but give him time.

Glad you are ok. By the way, leave the deer hair on the car. It will validate the claim that you hit a deer (and not a tree). This makes a difference in the insurance. Yes, this is experience speaking.

[swatty]

Ouch, glan you're Ok Allan.

We'd have this happen occasionally on the side of Houston I grew up on. The last guy I remember got a deer in the face... both dead.

Our biggest hazard on the side I live on now are cyclists going down 2 lane roads with no shoulders...

[zlin08033]

Allan:
I drove on 287/87 yesterday, about 80 miles, I saw at least 5 dead bloody deers bodies...
Glad you are OK.
