  • So how was everybody's day?

    This is how I started mine,
    This my 4th deer hit in the last year and a half. This is the latest with my newest Festy, just bought it a few months ago. Went to Maryland to pu, all in one day from Ohio and back, just so I could kill another deer in Ohio.

    That suck. Doesn't look like any major structural damage, just the core support looks bent. Easily pulled out. Start looking for a parts car.

      core, radiator, headlights/buckets, one turn light, hood, I think the ac cooler but maybe not. Haven't opened the hood yet.
      Ripped off my exhaust loading it into my brother-in-laws trailer too.

          Sorry to here that. I work in a body shop and a big part of our business is deer hits. I live in central Iowa and the deer are all over the place. Tonight there was a cop car with his lights on and sure enough a van had just hit a deer. Splatter marks on every highway it seems.

                Down here in Arkansas we have so many deer that we have problems with deer hitting us. Seriously. One woman had two different deer run into her Kia Sportage within a month. Then a friend of mine was hit in his Suburban. I had one run alongside me for about 30 feet then decide to cut me off. They're crazy. I guess they're trying to get back at the Rednecks who spotlight.

                  theres a guy by my farm in mo, that told us that there was a guy going around a sharp curve and a deer ran right into him and is head wedged in between the wheel and the wheel well and the guy couldnt turn and went over the embakment and rolled the truck, killed the driver.


                  that is how bad the deer are, but theres people like us hunters to help solve this

                    Anomoly....there must be something with Sportages, the first 2 of the 4 were in a sportage. And one was because the deer ran into it....that is 2 weird.

                      sounds like you need a push bar
                      There is no replacement for displacement, except for the turbo in my basement.

                          yeah, once a dear ran out of the woods and crashed into my car when I was stopped at a stop sign near my house... it dented the door but I fixed it. And last night a squirrel jumped on my car while I was driving home... crazy animals :lol:

                            I has the closest experience the other night , I almost hit 2 , the first one ran out , I hit the brakes the let off , then there was a buck running right behind it , maybe 3 ft from plowing him , I can't believe I did not blow the brake lines apart :shock:

                            Sorry to hear about the car , I hope you are able to get it repaired !!

                              In my neck of the woods the deer wont wait till you get on the road. They come to the house looking for a car to damage. :lol:



                              Gotta be sneaky to get a pic this close.

                              Opps it heard the camera shutter and saw me.
