Hit a deer this morning

I hit a bird once, I think it was a sparrow.

I would like to take this opportunity to say that I think that birds are getting dumber.  I hit a buzzard last year, and have almost hit several more since.  They used to get out of the way quickly, but now they start flying in the same direction as the car instead of off to the side out of the way.  And this morning I ran over a small bird that was too slow. I've started adjusting my speed more whereas I never did that before.  Not sure what's going on.

Damn. I've never seen a buzzard that didn't manage to avoid getting hit. Seen a few fly low over the hood but never actually hit one or known anyone to do so. Small birds on the other hand... a friend of mine has a truck with an alternator that "chirps" as he's going down the road. The 8.1 draws em in like a magnet.

I once got hit by an owl. Thankfully it hit more the frame around the windshield, I'd have had an owl in my lap. I circled back to see if he broke a wing or something since I know owls are pretty protected, but I couldn't find him.

Also, I've almost hit the same damn squirrel on my way off my street three days in a row. He's already got a crooked tail. Idk why he keeps pushing his luck.

Oh yeah, I was on a 2 lane highway not far from home, doing about 60 when it shot out of the woods right in front of me in a full sprint. Barely had time to stab the brakes.

Oh dear...

Since it ran out in front of you, can't say you are at fault. In other words it's not one of those Doh! moments.  Will it cost big bucks for the repairs?

I haven't gotten an estimate yet, waiting for the police report to be completed. Luckily it didn't get any metal parts, just several plastic bumper pieces and a fog light. But it's a painted bumper so it will have to be painted to match.

I will get revenge on that deers family this fall...

You know I'm a licenced hunter, right... 

Good to hear! I've been deer hunting for 25 years and believe it or not, that is the first doe I've ever killed. Lol
I just don't like taking doe.
