An old friends dad was driving his work truck down a county road and a buck rammed the side while he was driving. There were a set of holes in his passenger door. LOL

I dont think he meant to ram him, just just to run across the road.


I can't so for all deer but there some kinds that can not see well. They use their ears and nose more.

Yeah, step on a tiny twig and turn your head in the woods and they're off like they're on fire...but they don't fear cars trucks and tractors much. I think once they go in flight mode they just pick a direction for a while, doesn't matter whats there, Trip's car for instance I got a scratch on my right quarter panel of my '97 Firehawk when a buck tried to beat me across the road once. Luckily I was in 3rd gear and beat him by an antler

Reminds me of Ron White's bit on deer hunting. I can't find the Blue Collar Comedy Tour version, which has the exact same words just a little better done.

i've had that happen to me.

I was 15, driving to school in my 1984 Dodge Ram Charger 4x4 and one hit me in the passenger door. I was going like 55 mph on a rock road...

I pulled over, noticed it bent my mirror back, so I moved that back and noticed it also had only wiped the dirt off of the passenger side. No dent. (no wonder my parents gave that tank to me as a first ride)

I was pissed, so I got out and kicked the deer, which was either dead or stunned. Didn't move, I just drove off.

Back where I'm from they are a total PITA. Kill 'em all I say.
