I hit one last fall in my s10, I was even more upset when I couldn't find the deer.

This one flew into the ditch, it was all cut up, twisted, and deformed.

Sorry to see that. You should still consider yourself lucky, that deer could have went throught the windshield.

I was going to work at 5am when the deer ran out in front of me, I slammed on the brakes and it just hit drivers side fender, headlight, and the grill on that side.

My dad hit one three weeks ago in his 2003 Chevy 3/4 D-max, and it looked like a semi truck hit the deer, i'm happy to say the truck didn't have a single mark on it.

One of the weirdest calls I have ever gotten from my dad is when he used to work 3rd shift. So he would be getting home at 4 in the morning.

Dad-"Shane bring a flashlight for me, the spotlight."
Me-"ok, where are you?"
Dad-"I'm in the grocery store parking lot, I just hit a deer."
Me-":confused: "

He was pulling into the driveway to a grocery store and plowed into the deer. lol

well its totaled, they're sending a check for $1000 yep $1000, insurance companies are criminals, this car at the very least is worth $2000 , here is how its looked before the deer hit, i think anybody can look at it and know its more than a $1000, i can't even express how pissed i am, final option is to find a cheap 84 Lincoln and get the parts off of it and put them on ourselves
