You do have to just shrug it off when it happens. My worst experience was about three years ago. I had patterned a nice 8 point on my lease. He had a very distinctive rack due to a broken tine on the right side. One morning late in the season I am on my way to the prperty and 1 mile from the gate the very same buck runs out of the woods and into the side of my jeep. He bounced off and I thought he might have made it but I turned around and found him in the ditch with a broken neck. I was not a happy camper.
