What did the deer do?

[Rogues Gambit]

For the Jersey folks, this happened in Colts Neck

Non Jersey folks, the rich town that uses Deer in lieu of cops

Going 40 in a 40, I'm fine, but Trucks not and also has a CEL (Had to turn off the front sensor as it was screaming), though thankful engine and radiator seem fine, as I've took care of my errands until just now, so driving for the last 2-3hrs

So, what did the kamikaze doe do?

Sorry, For your collision you took it most in the grill must have been a small doe, Glad you're ok guessing $10,000 - $15,000 damage.

P/S what are you pointing at Mr. Gambit

Wow, damn, thank god I have insurance. Wonder if I can find any quality aftermarket parts instead of using OEM for it

Yeah, it was a doe, didn't see antlers on it. The One Time I let my guard down there, and I used to live there

I'm fine, more upset about the truck tbh, especially as next week and next month, I had plans to install mods

What the doe did was not look both ways before crossing the street. Dad's probably out buckin' around and mom just sitting under a tree saying deery me. Where were the parents!

Ouch!

She just kept going on about her day?

That is what they seem to do around here. Completley demolish a front end and just keep right on walking.

They usually only get hurt if they hit into the side of the vehicle and snap their neck...or end up under a tire.

My friends daughter hit a deer so hard it was stuck in the frontend. She never even stopped. A road worker stopped her for construction and asked if she knew she had hit a deer. She asked him how could he tell? He said, "Lady, it's stuck on the front of the car." She drove it on home. My buddy had to hook a chain to it and a tree to pull it out.

No, she's sadly dead.

Truck drives still, used it today and Saturday, just waiting for the adjuster

Definitely, though I got a Whorelock as a loaner truck, and now, I'm wondering what can I do to make mine more agile and stuff like it

Obviously it's more than tires and diff, and maybe it's all a placebo

Sorry to hear, those things are everywhere up near my property in nor cal and most seem slightly suicidal....
Are you having venison for dinner?

Naw, I wish

Haven't had Venison since NM 2 years ago

That said, sure I can get myself a gun permit and hunt one

Where I live the speed limit on many of the country roads is 35 MPH but on a road where my sight distance is limited I slow down as I need time to see the deer and time to react and time to stop the truck. At night that means driving at 25 MPH so I do not hit the deer.

If you look at deer encounters by people driving too fast but having brush guards you will find that usually these protective devices do actually protect the radiator but often the deer is thrown up into the air and crashed through the windshield.

Out here in New Mexico we have a lot of Elk versus car encounters. The elk usually win. Most of the time folks (who live in the high country) out drive their headlights and cannot stop in time.

We love Cloudcroft. Went there twice in September 2019. Drove down a National Forest road and saw a bunch of elk crossing the road. We will be going back for a visit soon.

I remember going there, they got a lodge with all sorts of animal jerkies right?

Ex was from Almagehtto, also went to Roswell, definitely interesting out there, especially with her old Golf (She busted the oil pan out when it bottomed out as she was flying down the mountain, poor car)

 

[Glenn54]

We didn't see any animal jerky but you may be right. Saw a couple of elk in the back of trucks that would have made good jerky.

Apparently the six foot social distance doesn't apply to deer......

I learned this week honesty's not always the best policy

Since the trucks been fixed, washer pump ain't working and since I got stupid and told the dealer, they're pushing to back to the body shop

Wish me luck and Fortunately, the Y-pipes here
