Buck vs Vehicle

[dennishoddy]

Just got back from picking up wife and her friend south of Ponca City near Sooner Power Plant on 177 after hitting a buck deer.
Nobody injured but the deer thankfully. Just shook up.
They did want me to check on the condition of the deer so we drove in the ditch headlighting the ditch. Saw the buck on the other side of the fence moving with its back legs down. Called the Perry GW and gave a voicemail report with location before getting the ladies loaded up and back to town.
I will say if that buck were legally taken, it would be on my wall.

Glad they are ok. But no pics of the buck? I used to have a stand that I could see the power plant from.

Glad you all are alright and that KIA looks like it mostly took cosmetic damage and maybe a condenser.
You will be surprised how inexpensive some of those parts are.

Why don't you get the deer? You hit it and have first dibs. The S.O. has a list of people that they call on fresh road kills if the guy hitting the deer doesn't want it.

Glad everybody is all right.

Glad everyone is OK. It seems that one lesson that got through to my daughter when she was learning to drive was to really be on the lookout for deer this time of year AND, if you see one, you'd better be watching for more to follow!

ETA: KNOCK ON WOOD!

After impact, the buck made 40 yds and actually crossed the fence before laying down. I arrived 25 minutes later. When I spotted the deer in the headlights, he got up dragging its back legs moving South.
Didn’t want to push it any further. Figured it would lay down and expire. Called the GW and gave the location so hopefully he went out there this morning to check on it.
