Drat!!! I hit a Deer!!

Diana, I'm so glad neither of you were hurt!
My friend Londa totaled her car a few years ago when she hit a deer. Another friend came over a hill, swerved to miss a deer and hit another car head on; killing her and her unborn baby.

They cause a LOT of damage and misery. They're beautiful animals, but a menace on the hwys.

I'm glad you weren't hurt! I've always been terrified of hitting one. I haven't so far, but my husband used to hit at least 2 a year. Fortunately, it was always in the farm truck and he was never hurt. They're everywhere around here.

We have a lot of them around here also. Our friend in the car body business is giving us some parts to fix the Tahoe and then we'll only have to order a few parts. Whew!!!! I didn't do any motor damage. I must have slowed down pretty quickly (I was doing 70 mph). The damage was only to the grill and the lights so I think that I'm pretty blessed! Oh there was a good size dent in the front driver's fender, but it's going to have to stay there. The Tahoe had several dents in it when we got it and a few more won't hurt.
