Quite the pucker factor Murph,I fully agree with your statement.Funny stuff though my good friend/hunting partner of 30 plus years was sleeping his first response was WTF did we hit.Of course us old bastards have to take a truck nap and do not get to see the REAL excitement.LOL..

Looks like the hit was low on the truck bumper and not in the grill. Either way, once a deer is hit by a vehicle, the meat is not worth much IMO. (broken bones throughout the meat) Glad you and your partner were not hurt. Jon

Sadly I've hit quite a few with big rigs, just deer not elk or moose or a horse. I've never really had any damage. It's my theory that they are trying so hard to get away that they slip and fall down. Hoofs don't have a lot of traction on pavement. Then again, maybe I've just been lucky.
