Default Fork Horn Downed!

Driving to work this morning in my company car (chevy hhr). My coworker was driving, I was in the passenger seat. Its dark out. Doing about 50mph. All of a sudden , the air bags go off with a huge BANG. Disoriented, we pull over and look around to see what the hell just happened. The front of the car is mutilated, and 20 yds behind us is a friggin deer. I am sore as hell right now, laying down. No major injuries, just sore all over. Anyway, the EP came out with the cops, towed the car, tagged the deer, and my buddy came and picked us and the deer up with his pickup. We toughed it out and brought it back to the shop and butchered it. My sister's freezer is full, I'm having a backstrap tonight, and I didnt have to use my own tag! But man, I am friggin sore all over.

Glad to hear you and your coworker are ok. You better take a few days off work just to be sure. I suggest quietly relaxing in a deer stand to avoid PTHADWAC syndrome. (Post Traumatic HittingA Deer WithA Car).

Funny. Agree you need treatment for your PTHADWAC syndrome. Bag'em and tag'em any LEGAL way you can. Just glad it was the company car and not yours.
