Deer Encounter

Just one doe I hit

 

KDlinks, just loaded a new 128gb card in it last weekend, it came with a 32gb card. Pretty happy with the camera

 

dang. That reminds me when I had my 95 Toy PU and I lived up in Norther California. I was coming home around 2am when I encountered a line of 7 deer walking across the road, from bar ditch to center median. Needless to say I never hit the brakes and I obliterated one deer while I was going 65mph. I end up doing $3,700 worth of damage. In the end though I was able to upgrade my lift kit (bent part of the Pro Comp Stage 1 brackets) new hood and and ARB Bull Bar out of it.

That is not a fun situation and all the more reason why one of my first upgrades is lighting.

 

I’m thinking I had slowed to around 30mph when the deer hit me in the drivers side door, the damage is actually pretty minor. I’m waiting to hear back from a paint less dent removal guy, if it is able to be pushed back out I think it will be $200.00 or less not too shabby for a deer encounter

 

I am glad you were ok. I was pretty gun shy for several months afterwards. I did not help that roughly six months after my truck was repaired I almost hit a black bear that was crossing the road. Now I just have to deal with oil field traffic in West Texas.

 

I’ve been driving for 35 years and had countless close calls with cars, trucks and wildlife, first collision with anything so my time was due.
