Hit a doe on the way to work tonight! Spun her around like a top, then she ran into the night (real fast when she saw the skinning knife in my hand!). Luckily I saw her early and had time to brake a little. Not much damage to the Passat, just broken cowling and spiderwebbed paint on theupper plastic shroud (of course that's probablya grand in damage!). Better than last time...$3000 in damage (same car). She was probably a yearling and, hopefully, not carrying a fawn. Guess I'll stop by the local PD in the morning and get a report for my insurance guy!
Tell them it was a coyote. That'll throw them off. Here the insurance companies pressure the game commission into herd reduction because of situations just like yours. They don't like to pay $1000 for that little spider web in the paint. There's even been several coyotes killed with tags in the ears from farms. The people who shot them called the farm and asked who purchased the coyotes. It was an insurance company. Maybe if we start telling them their damn coyotes jumped out in front of you they will back off lol
