Ilbowman Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I have not been on here for a while due to the craziness of selling a house, remodeling our farm house after renters did a number on it and working like mad. Well last tuesday while taking my daughter to the bus stop a deer jumped a ditch and hit the front fender, fliped up and landed in the windshield. Not only did I have my ten year old daughter with me but my 13 month old son was in the back seat drinking his bottle when the deer came out of no where! I am very vigilant this time of year because the deer are starting to really move with pretty much all the crops out and cooler morning temps getting them on their feet. By the grace of God nobody was hurt one bit but as you can see in the pic we were very lucky! If anything I should have been hurt but luckily I was not. I just so happened to ne hit by a nice 8 pt buck. His rack was not the biggest but he had to weigh atleast 200lbs! So that evening I went hunting to get a little revenge on the deer herd and I managed to take a good doe!! unfortunately my car is pretty much totaled! I hope everyone has a safe hunting and driving season as things are only going to heat up more and the deer will be moving all day long real soon!!Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilbowman Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Even though the deer looks salvagable in the pick he was not. He was all mushy on the side that he was hit. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilbowman Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks for all the well wishes everyone!! Im so thankful that my kids were not hurt in any way and steveb your right cause having no one hurt is all that matters!! Buckee, I probably wont even see a deer that big this year!! lol Ruttinbuc, they sure can. and for some reason I must have a deer magnet in my pocket cause the other night Randy and his dad came out to the farm to help me hook up some appliances at my farm house and after we got done he took me for a ride in his new toyota tundra. about halfway down the black top 2 doe's poped up out of the ditch and randy slamed on his breaks and I think the squeel of the tires scared the deer back down in the ditch!! I had just told him to watch for the deer not 5 seconds before this!! I would have hated to see such a nice truck get deer damaged already!!
