thought the exact same thing , last year sometime during their " mating" season, i knew if i took the backroads my car would get smashed.

i took the Main road to avoid the deer and guess what? dang deer STILL found me. coming home and down the hill at around 930 pm that night i saw it hop the fence and begin walking out right infront of me, i slowed down to 15-20 mph, and blared the horn, thinking to scare it the other way right? errr wrong, it ran right at the car, and collided with the driver side left front fender and slid the entire length of my car, got up and ran off. i was so mad. cursing and chasing the dang thing. wasnt too too bad, but still left a nice dent in the fender.

:mad::mad: just goes to show you..... Expect the Unexpected.:eekdance:

car is going in the shop today. ill post pictures of the car later today. my insurance said its $500 deduct, wish i didnt have to pay that ugh.

Damn man that sucks! Hope everything works out getting back to 100%.

As Chris mentioned before, taking the deer back with you is considered poaching... Living in Wisconsin for school, I asked a friend of mine what happens if he were to run over a deer.

Well, first, you call Fish and Game, who will either instruct you to shoot if if you're a hunter with a valid license, or they will shoot it themselves if the deer is still alive. At that point, various things happen, since you can technically only keep it if you've got a valid hunting license, but at the same time, only during the proper season and only if you've got a tag... the story was long and convoluted, and I'm sure any hunter will have a better idea, but long story short...

You can't keep the meat! TenderiZed as it is. Could go for a venison sausage for breakfast right now. :yum:

Sometimes, the warden will be really cool and sell you a tag on the spot, as long as you are eligible to purchase a tag. they also started this new thing where testing for CWD. but honestly, whether I would take the deer or not depends on how it was hit. if the stomache was ruptured, thats going to be hell to clean and take the meat, in which case you can also choose to donate the carcass to a hunter's safety course to help teach little kids how to field dress a deer.

Must say, if you are ever in wisconsin, call the local sheriff before the game warden. :tup: I've eaten roadkill before. hell, nothing really beats ~50 lbs of free meat.

Pics? That sucks, deer are really dangerous and can come through a windshield. I hit one a long time back, but just clipped it on the corner bumper.

You're ok so the car did it's job protecting you. Funny how some thought of taking the deer home for sausages and protein. Can't imagine a deer fitting the back of a Z. Now the bright side is that you now have a good excuse to buy either an Amuse, Concept 20 or a Zele for your car :)

:iagree:Deductibles suck , sorry :-(

no big deal on the deductible, now you can get some aftermarket fenders, CF hood and new paint, which is what the front of the car needs most...
Turn this negative deer accident into a modification positive.

Same thing happened to me with my 88 Pathfinder. Got a killer two tone paint job and Boyd wheels and tires + all the new parts.

should be comprehensive, which isn't necessarily larger deductible. I have $500 on both collision and comp. better if its comp because they wont raise your premium, glad you're ok

glad your ok just be glad it wasnt a buck and did not go through the windsheild

yea.. good thing it didn't go through the windshield and hurt you..

Can't say the same for what happened to this dude.

Porsche vs. Chicken at 160 mph.

depending on the deer, should fit if you quarter right on the road. I always keep extra garbage bags for roadkill. Most carcasses fit in any vehicle if you cut it into enough pieces.:tup:

ouch it doesnt look like to hard of a fix just a new hood and bumper probly
