$3600 worth of damage...

dude that sucks.... that looks pretty bad

Two questions:

Did you kill the deer and how fast did you have to get going to hit it?

i was only going about 40-45 MPH. any faster he would of probably been in my lap. the buck was thrown in the woods, but i don't think he was killed.

glad to here you are alright how long befor the x is fixed

I seriously do think that was one of those Al Qaeda deer. Did it have a turban on?

Hope you were alright, Damn....roof damage:heul3-big:

WOW MAN
im glad you are ok, coulda ended up way worse,
you shoulda wrapped his antlers in toilet paper and called homeland security!

i like thatat ricer LOL

the parts are in... new roof skin, new fender... new windshield. hopefully i'll get the X back by this weekend

how the heck do you do the roof skin

good question, i think they just cut it off. i don't know, i'm not a doctor

You know there are easier ways to get yerself a deer for the cookin' an eatin's.
I'm thinkin you just coulda got a license an went huntin instead of driving around waiting for one to jump out in front of you to hit with the X. lol

On another note here in Newfoundland we have the most accidents in Canada that involve Moose / Vehicle / Occupant fatalities. I think last year alone there was 668 moose accident in our province, not sure how many fatalities but I know I responded to 2.

Consider yourself lucky man.

:wink-big:

Dang, you musta done something bad to a deer in a previous life

You see big rigs from Canada down here in Minnesota all the time, they're easy to spot, they have huge bulldozer looking oversized brush guards on the front end. Kind of mad-max like. I finally found out that those things are moose guards.

That's what shrock bumpers are for :)

All across Newfoundland and parts of Canada you see these signs everywhere.

A Møøse once bit my sister...

This happened to a member on XOC. They just posted it today.

He was driving on the I-10 i think when a semi drove over a steel pipe. Luckily he was in the process of switching into the left lane.

that sux!!!!! did it happon in the houston area????

damn....that is crazy. could have been a lot worse if that were a few inches to the left. same thing happened to my parents not too long ago in my dad's wrangler. they were driving down the highway when a dumptruck threw a rock about 6 inches in diameter up into the air....hit the window, went right thru and hit the back seat in the jeep, went right thru the middle of the glass, right between my mom and dad....i'm always worried about taking a bird strike in the glass on the herk....guess i should start worrying more about stuff hitting my x instead...it seems to be more dangerous lately
