A co-worker sent me this video showing a formula 1 car hitting a deer at around 100 mph. Not sure where the deer landed as it was sky launched when hit.
WOW!! that was amazing. That poor deer must have flipped thirty feet into the air.
Makes me think of today. I was headed to town in my new Silverado and came around a curve to find a huge doe standing in the tall grass on my side of the road. All I could think of was, not the new truck..[:@] Hit the old truck all you like, but not the new one. Thank goodness she just kept on eating grass there in the ditch line. I wonder if the deer flies and sand flies are chasing them out of the deep woods? I could never take and walk back in the woods this time of year without a lot of bug juice on.

WOW!!!! Where did she go? Maybe still up in that tree.

Hey cayugad, maybe you need to put one of those spoilers on the front of your newtruck. Doesn't look like the car was damaged.

My wife saw a doe today in the median of a grassy area in between the interstate and said she passed and looked in her rearview and saw her cross and get through traffic. We have a lot of development going on I guess it gets to deer. The heat doesn't seem to bother them as much as I thought, I've seen quite a few already walking around in daytime.
