Not as Euphoric as I thought my first deer would be
Playing in a hockey tournament this weekend and had our first game last night. Coming home from the game, 2 large deer decided to go west across the highway while I was travelling north. Missed the first one but got the 2nd head on. I really know nothing about deer other than I think it was male as it was a biggun with some horns. Needless to say, it was not the rack I was thinking about on my way home. Luckily when I hit him he went down instead of up, ran over him I think based on the bump and pulled off the road. Looked back and didn't see him - hopefully his suffering was over quickly though as he took an awful wallup.
They can do some amazing damage to a vehicle
Luckily one of the guys I was playing with stopped and help me with the bumper. It had been driven right back into the front tire. Attached a chain to it and pulled it off enough so I could get home.
I was even trying to be nice to deer this year - created a little sanctuary at the home so they wouldn't get hit
I guess the 2 last night didn't get the invite.
Oh well, no injuries to me so I am thankful for that, insurance and body shop will cover the rest. Felt kinda lucky so grabbed a Super 7 ticket on the way home - will see how that turns out later.
Been said before, watch out for the deer, they are out in full force right now.
