so hit my first deer last night

as the title states yep, hit a deer while driving on campus at like 1 last night.
I have a Avid light bar and it held up really good.

was going about 45 when i saw three of them so started to slow down then the fourth jumped out at me and i hit him i think around 30 or so.

the deer looked to have broken both back legs, and i gave it time to see if they were just placed weird but he wasnt moving and making alot of noise so i helped him out a litte. then gave him to my buddy for meat.

deer should know better than to run out infront of a tacoma, they'll always lose.

 

I'd like to see a picture of your light bar post-impact.

 

JK hope all is ok

 

Really want to see pics of the bar after all this

 

my cousin seems to hit deer all the time in oklahoma and his chevy is always fuuuuugged up lol good to hear the truck is really tore up.

 

At least your ok and the deer went to use

 

Glad you didn't get hurt and the Tacoma held up. Mmmmmm venison.

 

Drilled a deer a couple months ago in my truck doing 40. Got out cut its throat and threw it in the back, not a scratch on the truck.

 

Friggin' road rats... that's a big reason I quit riding motorcycles.

A light bar up front is starting to sound real good!

Glad you're OK!

 

I hate deer.

 

haha from the looks of the pic, they hate you too

 

dang

 

wow thats some damage poor tacoma

 

yeah i'll post up some pics of the bar. no pics off the deer though,killed it and he had it done in no time.

it only bent the bar about two or three inches.pushed entire right side in, scratched the bottom of the bumper but nothing more than a scratch, was lucky.

and dang racer sorry to hear about your taco.

hope everything turned out good

 

But they taste good

 

Sure makes a loud impact, doesn't it?

I was super lucky - just cracked a running light lens and sheared off a mirror (in my old Nissan). But I was still plenty impressed.

 

yeah it is pretty loud.

and pics will come this weekend sometime
