You would think they would run away from a car not right into the side of it.I have deer whistles on my other car but not this one.
I drove to my Fathers house a couple of miles away and called the Sherriff. They did not send anyone out because the car had been moved. I hope this does not cause me issues with the insurance company since there is no police report. I didn't have a cell phone on me so I had to drive away to call. Anyone been through this before where you left the scene without calling cops? I am just sick I just got this car in August. Caved the whole door in it won't even stay shut I have to lock it.
I already filed a claim online. Insurance Company is ALL STATE

For the record, I used to try and hunt the critters. Seems I rarely saw a deer during deer season. Admit, almost got a few with the truck on our way to our hunting sites, LOL!! Of course now, the state has raised the cost of the license to hunt and they are preparing to shorten both the firearms and muzzleloading gun seasons, go figure.

Todd, just remember it can always be worse. This happened last week in the small town of Waynesboro, Ga where I grew up.
Pizza Hut manager killed on roadside
The longtime manager of the Waynesboro Pizza Hut was killed as she stood on the shoulder of Highway 24 with a deputy by her side. According to a spokesperson from the Georgia State Patrol office in Sylvania, Catherine Cooper, 53, was traveling home Thursday night when her car collided with a deer near the intersection of Thompson Bridge Road.

The rest of the story is a drunk driver hit her as she was talking to the deputy.

that is sad about the woman.I hope they got the drunk.
I have gotten teased abit at work about hitting this deer since I've hit 2 or 3 in the last few years. One of the guys I work with went hunting this weekend all weekend(shotgun season started the 13th). He and a friend sat out all weekend and never saw a deer, then on the way home hit one with their truck. :lol:
That sounds made up to me but he says it's true. If so that's too funny.

I've lived down here in Brown County for 15 years now. My wife has hit deer with both our old and the current Blazer I drive. I've just been damn lucky that I haven't hit one!
