oooo, I almost got whiped out in this kind of accident on I-70 about seven years ago. Good post cybergal! This is especially good to keep in mind this time of year when the vermin are very active.

Deer are a big problem here in GA. The best advice I could give anyone is to slow down and keep your eyes peeled, especially at dusk and dawn.

I had never hit a deer before.... Until last night.

I was on 82, heading East into Albany Georgia and the damn thing ran right out across the highway in front of me. I hit the brakes to miss him with the tractor and the stupid animal turned around and ran right back under the trailer. Last thing I felt was a "bump", LOL.

One other thing to remember with deer, is that if one comes across the road, there will probably be one or more following them. I've seen a lot of accidents where it was the second or third door across the road that caused the accident.

Aw that is terrible to hear about the animals crossing the road and will keep in mind if I ever encounter that.

I would have considered it if I had been near the house

just remember a deer will do a lot less damage than trying to swerve around it and going in the ditch and rolling your truck or taking out another vehicle. Hit the deer!

I had a buck try to jump over my car once and didn't make it. It almost came through my windshield needless to say I had to get a new windshield.

 

[fiona]

Aaah I really do not want to hit the deer however when you put it that way, I don't want to run into another car or truck or go down a ditch.

In the northwest deer are the least of your worries. you have bears, moose and elk. And in Wyoming and surouding you have Antilope.

1 year ago or so i was driving up sr 138 in jonesboro, ga when a deer came out of the woods and committed suicide by using the car i was driving. he was as long as the car (honda) as the damage ran from the front bumper to the rear bumper. i saw him in front of me right before it happened. i actually looked into it's eyes and it was like he did it on purpose.
