Two Seconds. Maybe Three.

I hit 2 seperate deer one morning on the same trip to work about 30 mins apart. The second one actually hit me, right in the driver's door.

With me it was moose, I had a long way to go so was travelling a bit too fast one moonlit autumn night. The first cracked my grill; the second came up out of the ditch and just folded my mirror in on the way by.

A supervisor once had a bear come up out of the ditch and wipe out the passenger side of his company car.

I know the the price of ammo is sky high but I would think its still cheaper than motorcycles. (humor)

Suicidal Texas Doe got me about two years ago on I-10 about 120 miles west of San Antonio. Mine was at night & she jumped in from the median while I was watching the shoulder. Had to be towed back to San Antonio & $10K and two months later got my truck back with visions of Ranch-hand bumpers dancing in my head. When the airbags went off, it smelled like I was in a duck blind, & luckily, the takata initiators weren't the ones with shrapnel -- even though GM keeps sending me notices to replace the original equipment. My wife laughs when I tell her I got an STD in Texas & tells me I'm lucky that she's understanding or it would have cost me a whole hell of a lot more than $10K.

Down here we call them "bull-bars". There's an entire industry here that makes them for all sizes/makes of vehicles and, yes, I've often considered getting one for the ute.

The bloody wallabies are suicidal!

Back in the late '80s, I was coming home from skiing in northern Michigan, before dawn, snowing and blowing, visibility about 100 feet, sometimes. I was on MI55 between Lake City and Cadillac when out of the white-out appeared 6 or 7 deer, standing right in the middle of the road. Hit the brakes, but hit three or four of then, killed two does. My '81 Town Car held up pretty well, they took out the left headlights and most of the grille, but fortunately nothing got to the radiator. Stopped and drug the two dead does off the road and drove slowly into Cadillac to the State Police post to get an accident report.
When I got home, I discovered the car was covered in deer fur, especially my skiis in the roof rack.

My place of residence: Deer Park, WA

Why? Deer EVERYWHERE! Like others, I drive carefully and managed to do fine for many years. Well, a few years ago, I drove into Spokane, which is 30 minutes south of Deer Park and let my guard down when one bolted out from a side street and I hit it. The doe bounced off, slid quite aways, got up, and trotted off, laughing. My Expedition, busted hood, grill, & fender!

Two weeks after repairs, boom. Another one… IN the city again. Another ambush!
