Well I'm visiting BeachBaby and we hit a deer in her car

[TZ]

We are all okay. Me BB and her two kids. Currently she is in the process of making a police report. Ugh. The jeep is damaged the radiator is leaking and so it's undeivable. We are waiting for a pickup. And the deer didn't die right away. Which upset me.what a way to start the weekend.Neither BB nor I have ever hit a deer before. :(

1. I am glad you all are safe.

Always be thankful for that :hug:

[crispini]

2. How horrible.

:hug: Glad all are well.

3. I'm glad everyone's okay

I hit a few years ago in my Jeep and got really lucky. I hit the thing at about 50mph, and all I did was crack my one headlight and the grill a little bit. The deer ran off, and I continued on my way.

4. Whats worse is when you are stopped and the deer rams YOU.

That happend once years ago on the day I bought my new car. That night I'm stopped at a red light and BAMO! Deer slams into my passanger side door and runs off. I'm like WTF JUST HAPPEND!??!

9. That happened to me driving my sisters car a hundred years ago.

And no she didn't believe me....

5. Glad everyone is okay....

Was the deer staring at her headlights???

[no name no slogan]

6. Glad you folks are okay

:hug:

7. I'm glad you are all okay, sorry you had to start your weekend like that

i had an elk (like a deer but 10 feet tall) land in front of my car at the Grand Canyon when it was hit by the car in front of me, i almost hit it. i remember when it jumped in front of the other car in front of me and time did that frame by frame thing that people talk about. it was so tall it went over the roof and landed in front of my car i was skidding to stop in time.

it kept twitching :cry: and i was all alone at night on a country road. the other guy drove off because he was drunk :crazy:.

8. So, in other words, the turtle really does win the race

;)

[CreekDog]

13. I always admired your knack for timing

No wait, that was someone else. :eyes: :spank:

[DarkTirade]

10. A cluster of them crossed the road in front of me the night before last.

Luckily the snow just melted here so I was able to slolom around them without hitting them or driving off the road. My heart was pumping like mad for the next ten minutes or so.

[DarkTirade]

29. ... and apparently I jinxed myself by posting that right before I left the house.

Because when I came back I almost hit two seperate packs of deer.

[Shell Beau]

11. That truly stinks! I am glad all are ok though!

:hug:

[malta blue]

12. I'm so glad you're ok

:hug::hug:

It's very traumatic! It happened to me in college. My friend had borrowed her bf's parents' car and we got two at once :cry:

Hug BB for me...

[Dr. Strange]

14. Whoa.

Glad you guys are okay.

[Evoman]

15. How far did you have to swerve to hit it?

[TZ]

16. Didn't swerve

She literally ran out directly in front of us and then. BANG! Totally unavoidable

[CreekDog]

17. you can't avoid them

they aim for the car. like moths to a flame. :shrug:

[Evoman]

18. Yeah, I was kidding.

I'm glad your okay. I had a buddy who ran into a deer (actually, it may have been a moose) and it went through his windshield. He broke some ribs and had internal bleeding.

[Taverner]

19. Glad you are OK - Deer can be deadly if hit at the 'right' speed

I hit a deer once, and at the time I was lucky I had a shovel in the car. I never have a shovel.

Anyway, hit the deer right on his neck, killing it painlessly and instantly. Then the next hour I cried. Killing things other than bugs always makes me cry (So far I've had to kill: a deer, a dog, a cat and a bird)

[geardaddy]

20. Glad you're ok.

Sorry to hear about the deer, and the car. :(

[rug]

21. How did the deer get in her car?

And why did you hit it?

[TZ]

22. Well now it's sinking in what happened

BB is having a drink. I don't blame her. It was a small deer so at least the airbags didn't go off

[CreekDog]

23. is she feeling ok?

:hi:

[TZ]

24. Her neck hurts a little

And so she is gonna lie down before we have dinner she says thanks for asking

[racaulk]

25. Yikes!

I'm so sorry this happened to you guys, but I'm glad to hear you're all OK.

Give BeachBaby/JGD a hug for me.

:hug:

26. Where y'all at?

We have a couple of deer herds in our neighborhood.
I usually see them on my early morning walks.
There's a 3 mile road coming into the subdivision through woods.
Speed limit is 45.
In early morning and late evening, when they're usually on the move, I do about 30 with the brights on.
Neighbors have had several deer strikes over the years.

Hope you guys can sort it out OK.

[PassingFair]

Hope you like venison.

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. I'm really glad you are all ok...

that is truly a frightening experience.
