351mach11647545510 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 So I Was driving home from work a little while ago and ran up on 3 doe. Saw them and slowed down since they were close to the road. Get up to speed about an 1/8 mile past and a buck (8pt. 18in spread) jumps up onto the road from the ditch, right in front of me. I barely got my foot on top of the brake when I slammed into him. Couldn't have hit him any more square. Broad side dead center. Needless to say I need a little more than my transmission rebuilt at this point. FML! I know for sure I messed up the: driver fender, hood, grill, all 3 sets of driver side lights, bumper, core support, ac condensor and I believe radiator. Any suggestions on shops? Any one have any oppinions on 3C as I have no clue as to where to go? Nationwide is the insurance provider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlr8tn Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I hit a doe last week.......with a 125 grain broad head. I'll try to kill as many as I can just to keep them out of the roads. Seriously though, sorry to hear about your car. It's amazing the damage they can do to a car. Just be thankful it wasn't any worse really.

His work is awesome but super expensive and odds are it will result in your car being totaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron, Ill be calling you in the morning to get some insurance info from you if you have it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 This morning I was about two buslengths behind a guy that nailed a deer. I didn't see any of it but someone came out of their house saying they heard it. The deer didn't make it very far, its guts and brain were all laying on the ground beside it.

I see them dead on the road daily. srs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPFSTheFett Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 It's Pre-Rut right now. Bucks are moving everywhere, chasing does. The next 2-3 weeks are the worst time of the year. Yep yep, they are certainly moving. Well if it makes you feel any better, nobody has to worry about this one running in front of their car. Shot it Friday. 15 points over an inch http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2213/cropedsideshot.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 ^ Hope you eat the meat and dont just kill it for sport When the Farm Bureau estimates that the ohio deer population should be at 250,000 instead of the elevated 650,000+ levels.... Does it really matter? And if it does matter to you, you'd be real upset knowing many farmers get nuisance permits and kill every deer on site and just let the deer rott. And yes, we get specialties made and I give the remaining meat to family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
