    My ex-bosses daughter lives in MI with her husband. They say there are tons of deer in the state & (at least used to) get several hunting permits/year. They send the hides in to some place that makes deerskin work gloves & get a dozen or so pair each year. That'd be fine retribution to the deer for hosing up your vehicle.

    When I drive to KY each year I do a lot of night driving & see a ton of deer carcasses on the side of the road throughout my trip. I'm always worried I'll contribute to the carcass population. So far I've been blessed.

    I hit one of those German Shepard sized deer years ago in a 240Z in Georgia. Amazing how much damage they can cause when you hit one at 100 mph. Glad you and yours are OK!

    I almost didn't even look at this thread. Figured it was just a hunting story and pictures.

    Glad the two-legged critters involved are OK.

    If you're going to make it a hobby you might invest in a large truck with a heavy duty front bumper and brush guard.

    I lived in Michigan for 4 years of my adult life and totaled 2 vehicles with whitetail in the Grand Rapdis area in just those 4 years . Dang things bolt right in front of you! Glad you guys are okay.

    One of my accidents was in a Ford Focus ZX3 and it flipped right over the top at about 35mph. The other was in a Suburban on 131 going about 75. I really just clipped its head, but it destroyed the whole passenger side of the vehicle because the deer ran into me at full speed.

    Just under $8000 in damage. Not totaled, but a handful of screws away from it apparently.

    As as a friend told me... "You're supposed to shoot em, it's much cheaper that way"

    There is a city in New York with an estimated whitetail population of 100 deer per square mile.

    Whew! That's an expensive little deer!

    The spouse and I drove through Itasca State Park in Minnesota. The speed bumps on the road kept us going under 5 mph, which was apparently slow enough for all the white-tailed deer to mosey on out and lick and snot all over the windows. I had to roll the window down and shoo them away.
