Attack of the Deer

[bhskittykatt]

This is a roadkill sighting from Hubby's coworker. Hubby's CW was driving down the road when a deer ran out of the bushes and hit the car. I didn't write that backwards. The deer ran out and plowed right into the front driver side of the patrol car hard enough to dent the car (a brand new 2014 Altima).

The deer got up, shook itself off, and ran away.

What is amusing is that they had been having some trouble with the driver side headlight on that car. Since the deer hit it, the headlight has been working perfectly!

I had a deer do this to me... at noon on a clear day in the middle of a four lane highway with me in a huge red minivan. I was the only vehicle even close to it, so it had to see me coming.

It smashed the driver side sliding door, the rear quarter panel, the tailgate and bumper, and them got run over by the little compact sedan that was about five car lengths behind me. After that it jumped up and ran off. I assume it died after that, but I went back to find it and I couldn't.

I had a deer do this to me as well, though mine happened near sunset one summer. Darn thing just jumped out of the ditch and right into the driver's side just in front of the front door. People laugh when I say the deer hit me, but it's true!

Many moons ago, a deer ran into the side of my mother's car while she was going ~55mph! She pulled over and two guys stopped to help. They asked her if they could have the deer (you can have it if you report the accident). She had no problem with it but they never found it, it ran off and was never seen again.

The dent in her driver's side rear door was _huge_, but the damn deer still managed to get away...

Back in December, when my friends and I were drving on MN 64 to Lake of the Woods to go ice fishing, a deer ran out from the ditch, and ran into the passanger door, and mirror, which is where I was sitting. Scared the crap out of all of us.

There wasn't too much damage. There was a chunk taken out of the mirror, and some hair in the door. I don't know if it survived, but if it would have been killed on impact, we were ready to take some nummy venison.

My housemate's Mom had an encounter with a dog that was just as stupid!

Driving down the road to her drive (with housemate, her son) they see the neighbor's dog standing in the road. It sees the car and starts charging at it. She slows until she comes to a dead stop and 'Wham!' the dog ran headfirst into the grill! Shook itself off and staggered home, where its owners came out and accused her of hitting their dog. Both her and housemate had to tell them sorry, their dog hit them!

Animals are one thing, but I've had a sign hit my truck. Yep, you're reading that right.

I was southbound on I75 in Ohio during the leftovers of Hurricane Ike. I was in the middle of 3 lanes in a construction zone, when a gust of wind caught a temporary (orange) sign, carried it across the left lane and into mine. It tagged my grille, and was last seen heading north in the southbound lanes.

I hope whoever returned that sign to the construction crew said, "Here's your sign."

OMG!! Such win!

I've had a magpie charge my car's front tire when I was travelling at 80k/hr. Guess who won?

Darwin. Next question.
