Hit a deer on a motorcycle a couple years back. Can't say I would want to do it again.

I work in management for a large 3PL carrier in the midwest and I file safety reports for quite a few deer strikes. I estimate roughly 90% of them occur on I-90 between tomah and beloit. last week driver observed 3 standing in the road as he drove over a crest. Small buck ran in front of him and took a semi at 61 mph to the face.

After being in 2 car accidents due to deer, I bought an AR-10 (and a black powder rifle for BP season), learned to shoot, learned to dress a deer, and now I'm getting a hunting license to help thin these fuckers out.

I hit a deer one evening in my parents' Buick LeSabre driving about 50 mph. Only damage was a crack in the fender around the turn signal. Barely noticeable. Deer run off.

I hit a second deer late one night driving home up a steep one lane road in a Chevy S10 that was about to quit on me. I had it floored to keep the engine alive and 10 mph was all it would do. This stupid deer just stood right in the middle of the road and wouldn't move. Well I wasn't about to let off the gas and have the engine die so I ran it over. No damage to the pickup. Deer died when my passenger side tires crushed its head.

I once hit a deer but I didn't kill it he just did a 360 in mid air and ran away.

>Driving along a road in Montana
>See deer by side of the road
>Get into middle of road and slow down just in case
>The moment I am about to pass this fucker he bolts at the jeep
>Think I missed him
>Nope, you can hear him hit my rock rails in the shit tier video I was recording

I hit a deer once, but thankfully it was small like the one in your picture. Was doing about 80 on a gravel road when it ran out. I was able to slow down to like 35 or 40 before I hit it. Dented my hood and busted a headlight housing. The deer just got up and ran off, but I should have shot it for busting up my car.

I'm curious as to how that situation ended?

Lots of road rash. Magically didn't break anything, but am now parinoid when riding a motorcycle.

I hit a deer going 90mph in my MR2 in the middle of snap-oversteer

Needless to say I'm dead

Hit one once doing 50, fucked up my headlight, considered beating it to death with a tire iron but decided against it. Got some fat dents in the right side of my car now.

I love tapped a buck once. It walked out in front of me, stopped, and looked at me. I slammed on the brakes and slide slowly enough that I just barely knocked him off balance. Then he stared accusingly at me for a good 45 seconds before walking casually away.

You did 90mph in an MR2?

How steep was the hill?

Anyone else confused by wildlife?

>in my car
>roll by ground birds, deer, squirrels, etc
>be pedestrian
>everything scatters
Is a human really more menacing than a car?

Cars don't walk, like most things that eat those animals do. Cars don't look like predators, don't smell like danger, and sound nothing like predators.

Interstate deer and highway deer act nothing like rural deer.

fucking savage

this meme is getting old real fast

Maybe your camry doesn't sound like a predator, but I would think my deafening/broken exhaust noise from my V8 would sound like a threat, no?

two deer stories:
>be driving at dusk
>on a stretch of curvy road
>taking long sweeping curve so headlights are not pointed where i'm going
>suddenly deer
>swerve and deer hits fender
>deer does some crazy acrobatics from my fender to the shoulder of the road
>deer has weird neck angle
>I have a pipe but animal abuse
>call sheriffs and report it
>look at truck
>fender mildly dented, light not broken
>drive away, pound it out next day
could have been worse, my goat ran into my truck while it was parked and did more damage

>be looking for cheap car
>see a volvo 850 turbo, $200
>hit a deer going 60
>destroyed a/c condenser
>broke radiator and headlight support
>cracked radiator
>intercooler, sandwiched in between both, is totally fine
>hood is a little dented, but not badly
>grill is busted out tho
>grill frame in hood has outline of deer ass
>lots of grill bits and deer hair in engine bay
still worth it

they're shit, shitty handling

My third day on a motorcycle, I rode it around the fairly empty country backroads one night, and spotted deer on a couple different occasions.

One I almost hit going near 60mph.
Fucker was barely caught in my headlights, but still in the dark, so I had to quickly switch my brights on (have them off because low beams light up road bumps better.) but it stunned the deer, and so it just stood in my path even longer.
I slammed on my brakes and almost went down, but managed to stop right in front of the deer. Fucker scurried off, and I just rode easy for a little while.

>>grill frame in hood has outline of deer ass
lel

Interesting fact. This is the area I live in, and it's good to know this.

I obliterated one the other day doing about 25 on a dirt road, me and some friends were 4 wheel rally racing our trucks and I hit a sick dagumi into a straight.
He never saw me coming.

>drive the next 150 miles at about 50mph or so, looking out for deer the entire time

Fuck deer

Damn. Did it total the car?

He didn't specify gen. 2nd gen can go 120+ though the frontend probably gets very light at that speed.

You're just asking for a stories-that-never-happened thread, OP.

I will actually kill you on the touge.

I like hitting nigger and other kind beasts.

You should have seen the mechanic at the body shops face. Had a bunch of the deer left underneath when I brought it in.

You're lucky you dont have these hopping deer over there.

This right here, I drive an mx5 (miata) and I don't think hitting a roo would end well for my poor car

When I was driving around northern Michigan, I was driving with them in mind. The jump in front of cars because they think the car is attacking them, so no amount of moving from the edge of the road helps. You just have to slow down to crawl.

What is this, WW3, i.e. civilised world vs. Putlerist Russia?

Ran over one in my dad's 6.2 raptor this past winter.
>Doe jumps around 100 feet in front of me.
>Tries to jump away but she somehow slips and trips.
>Truck runs over her cleanly and my buddy in his vehicross runs over her too.

>I didn't tell my dad but a month later comments he found hair stuck in the under engine cover.
