Well,
First, I live on a 40 acre plot, with a farmed field on one side of the house (separated by trees) Our lot is a Haven for deer, and we have counted flocks of 50 or more. (by that time it gets really hard to count)
So seeing deer is not uncommon, they usually hang out in a part of my driveway that goes through a clump of trees.
It was dusky out, i was doing like 35 mph (long *** driveway) and out of nowhere a baby deer darts in front of me. I slam on the brakes, engaged ABS, but still could not stop in time. I hit the deer at around 5 mph, but due to its size it flung him off the driveway and right into a tree. It looks like it broke its neck.
The funny part is, The first thing my dad says after i tell him i hit a small deer was:
"small deer make good eatin!! "
luckily my car isn't too fucked up. I broke a headlight cover, and cracked some paint on the lower part of the front bumper. It could have been a lot worse. That ****** flew out of the underbrush right into the front of my car.
Time to get that FEED bumper sitting in my garage put on!
