Deer Hits Me!!

Yes!! A deer actually ran into the side of my car!!

I was driving up the road to my house and BANG!! startled the hell out of me and my sister...I didnt even know what hit me until I got out and the driver in the car behind me told me a deer had just tried to tackle my car...I tried to catch up to the deer, to take some pictures..maybe see if he/she was alright but ran off too quickly

Anyhow, I'm wondering if my insurance company will just laugh at me when I tell them a deer ran into my car...although I did get a witness. Ahh! what an experience

Wow...You'd think the deer wouldn't survive a hit like that.

What numbers did you play in the lottery? Because I want to know which ones NOT to play. Talk about bad luck! When I'm in NJ, I'm always on the lookout for deer because they are reaching epic numbers. Dawn & dusk are the worst times. It all depends what your deductable is. Might just be less expensive to repair without the insurance company's involvement.

Yup - I have dents on the passenger side just like your second pic and I was quoted about $1200 to fix both doors.

$1200, ouch. Bambi should have been more careful. At least you did not lose control! Could have been so much worse.

Wonder if those cheap little deer whistles are really effective?

if there is any hair from the deer remaining on the car be sure to take some close up pics... this may be your only proof.
