That probably happens more than you think. Particularly at night. My brother has hit 3 to date.

Even a fairly small deer can so significant damage to a vehicle.

Tough holding on to the wheel when all that happens.

I've on bagged one Bambi with a 2-ton bullet. They sure do come out of the ditch quick.

I've hit 4 with police cars..... The car was saved each time by the push bu if the push mper, we put those on for deer not pushing cars.... The most impressive was the pheasant I deboned with the cross bar on the way to a fight call, with all the blood on my fender everybody was really cooperative at the fight.

That's funny.

This has got to be one of the most unique car/deer accidents:

Wow. I bet that was exciting. See the deer, feel the deer and then no deer in sight.

I know a guy who had one come through the windshield. The trooper told him the deer was his and even helped him get it to someone who could butcher and package it for him. When he got it home, his wife made him get rid of it because she couldn't bear the thought of having Bambi in the freezer, much less eating him.

Man knocked unconscious by being trampled by a deer. Looks like a pretty serious event.

Them Michigan deer are the baddest, especially those from downstate around as my grandfather always called it, KILLMAZOO.

I was at one a few years back a Honda civic hit one at the a-pillar and cut the free in half.... The hind quarters were in the driver's lap and the front half was in the median a eighth mile back.

That sounds like a real mess. Figured you have seen more than a few due to your line of work, and the fact that the SW corner of the state has a lot of deer and a lot of cars.
