Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I've hit 7 or 8 in my life, and I'm way past due for another. Haven't crunched one in this millennium yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowtech_archer07 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Knock on wood..... KNOCK KNOCK. I have yet to hit a deer. I've had some very close encounters, one of those was 3 days after I got my license and my first truck. SCARY!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I have been very lucky! So far, I haven't hit one! I sure have been close several times, but close doesn't count in this situation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois59 Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Got an 8 point buck a few weeks ago in Montana on the way to the Madison for some fly fishing. He came up out of the ditch and bam, $4500 worth of damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 We have the same problem here...over population. I've hit 7 or 8 in my life, and I'm way past due for another. Haven't crunched one in this millennium yet. Do you have one of those HUGE grill guards on the front of your truck? When we went down to west Texas in march, almost every truck we saw had those big guards on them to wack the deer and keep going without incident.

c_lou Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Almost got a buck this morning. He was standing in the middle of the road as I went driving by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pendog Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 A few years back my bro in law hit a rutting buck with his jeep as it chased a doe across a highway. He started braking hard and the deer ran into the drivers side door and put his horns though the plastic zip window a few inches from Jimmy's face:eek:. The only good part was that the buck actually lived and Jim got snot blown on him and on the door window:D I told him he got lip curled by a big boy, he didn't laugh much though.

RangerClay Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I hit a doe when I was in high school. I've had a lot of close calls since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
