[QUOTE="AKguy1985, post: 3299792, member: 824"] I've hit four deer in five years from 2011-2015. The first one was in 2011 after I had fixed my 99 crown vic after it had the front bumper torn off in snowpocalypse 2011. I went in to work late and was over by tacora hills on oloogah lake, went down into that dip near the entrance to red bud bay marina and there stood a doe. I hit her doing about 70 mph and she fit right in the grille, so once again tore the front of that car up. The second deer was in early july of 2014 right after the 4th. I left my house for work and down the road is a four way stop. I come to a stop and there is an OHP facing east bound, found that odd as I never see OHP on my road. Well, I take off from the stop sign and get up to about 40 mph and this deer jumps out of the pasture on the north side of the road and lands directly on my passenger headlight/grille of my 02 Honda civic. He bounces off like a ping pong ball and lands in the ditch about 20ft away. Me, being startled and freaking out I stop and get out of my car and start screaming at the deer, I walk over to it and its thrashing around trying to get up but its spine was broken, so I pull out my S&W bodyguard and empty the mag into its body in the dark as its thrashing around. The deer died and I took back off to work, did a couple hundred dollars damage to my car. In 2015 when i went to Colorado I was on my way back home and I was east of Pawnee on the cimarron turnpike it was about 3 am two does were walking across the highway, I hit both of them, the one to the left died on impact and slid across the road like a hockey puck, the other I have no idea if it lived or died, tore up the rental car which was a toyota yaris, did about $5,000 in damage to it. I have bad luck whacking deer, both my coworkers hit deer in the same week at the beginning of November. In 2016 when I was in colorado I almost had an elk walk out in front of me, but it decided not to and this was at night, all I saw was a big brown blur on the shoulder of the highway east of alamosa.
