folded one up this morning, i hate that!
On the wayto work this morning a small 12" cattle horned buck emerged from an embankment on opposite side of the Hwy, and you know it, he was headed into my lane hell bent for leather [:@]couldnt get enough brake in time and no where to go. KATHUD, very solid hit throwing him tumbling end over end 40' into the opposing lane. He layed ther for a minute thrashing then to my surprise got up and took off running!! There is no dought in my mind he will not make it [:o] But the good news is, and i still cant believe it, no damage to my trusty silverado, what the???
Stay safe out there people, the deer are after us now!:eek: |

That seems to be happening more and more here on the Interstates and Highways. They can do a good number on vehicles. About 2mos ago someone hit a cow a couple miles from the house.Smashed the car up pretty goodbut the cow lived somehow?

Kinda gives you that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach, doesn't it? I feel bad even if I hit a groundhog or raccoon.
At least there weren't anyinjuries or damage. |
RE: folded one up this morning, i hate that!
sad to hear u hit one but happy to hear you are alright...besides you never know...might be a tough deer;)

RE: folded one up this morning, i hate that!
Dangit, hate to hear that. The cow deal reminds me one night my wife and I were in a hurry to get to her parents house. We topped a hill and there stood a big black bull. Talk about your butthole puckering up.

LOL My cousin hit a really small doe with his S10 and he thought it didnt do any damage. A couple monthes later the bumper fell off and alot of other things were smashed up inside. So it might be an "optical illusion" that your truck is ok, or it could be your Silverado is just a beast!
We hit coons and groundhogs on purpose around here. It kills them quick and gets them outta the way. We have a crapload of both, my uncle caught 25 coons in the same trap last summer! And the woodchucks (whistle pigs to me) eat alot of the crops. |
RE: folded one up this morning, i hate that!
Glad to hear no damage to the truck, bc... You know? I've been seeing a TON more deer this summer along the roads during my daily travels this year than last... maybe we're going to have a great year! :)

RE: folded one up this morning, i hate that!
Glad to hear you are okay. The GF and I just got back from visiting some friends and there were TONS of deer on the interstate. Actually saw a nice 8 or 10 pointer on the side of the road. I hope he made it.[&o]

Theres a quick affordable cure for this. its called The Hornet Deer Avoidance System. I purchased one and installed myself in a matter of 20 minutes or less and I tell you.....IT WORKS. $65.00 can save you hundreds, possibly thousands of dollars in damage. I have yet to have a deer cross out infront of me since I installed The Hornet.Some deer will lift their heads and sit perfectly still without moving a muscle but about 90% of the deer I see run the opposite way back into the woods. This is the best deer avoidance system on the market. check them out.
