Got my deer...

[JoeG]

My friends Caddy put his tag on a BIG doe last year--took out the left part of the grill and fender------------Like your accident she just came flying out of the wood line----------------I've seen many deer accidents thru the years and a few fatal as Sam pointed out---deers going thru windshields---The worst one I've seen was a deer that jumped so high going across a roadway it actually went across the hood and thru the winddow of a school bus
-----------Just some info------------If you are approaching deer standing right on the side of the road and they are looking to cross--if you can slow down and beep your horn to get their attention otherwise they seem to be focused on crossing to get to the other side ----oblvious to their surroundings ---------- the sound of traffic must seem to the deer like it's coming from inside the woods behind the them , which in some cases spooks the deer causing it to Bolt --sometimes ending in a suicide run into on-coming traffic---- Unfortunately--there's no defense for the one that comes flying out of the woods
----The thruways in PA ,when it gets close to hunting season are littered with deer that looked like they were dropped from airplanes--- mostly young ones----------About the Moose Wilma--up in Quebec-long time ago we were taveling a old logging road in a VW BUS--25MPH--out comes a Big COW Moose who decides to run along side the VW bus for a stretch -so close my buddy was touching her back thru the window--Guess she thought we were the new guy on the block----just some campfire talk
