Ever wonder what a deer might do to your car? WARNING - GRAPHIC !!!!!!

DJJSR · 04-20-2008, 06:54 AM

140 lb doe, apparently it went in through the grill opening. Might justify lowering your car, but then you might get it in the windshield. Let's be careful out there.............

Java Junky · 04-20-2008, 07:06 AM

Wow!
Amen brother!
(N' it goes without sayin'att that Beemer'z considerably more beefy'n our li'l Stewie. In the peckin' order'a things, I'd say the only one's more vulnerable'n us r' the bikerz, but somehow . . . . that wouldn't be much consolation.)
Thanks Don,

no offense dj or jagg.

that's a fur coat and ketchup, or a photoshopper. hail, jagg's deer looker better than that.

D1sclaimer · 04-20-2008, 08:56 AM

He must have been going at least 80-90mph if not more. I hit 1 going 35mph in my accord and it just bounced off to the side. I was lucky. Living in the boonies sucks. I've hit 2 in the past year while going under the speed limit.

I think there might be a little photoshop at play here as well. That's just really hard to believe.

That is hard to beleive, I know......the deer was on a motor bike without a helmet.

Unfortunately for the car owner (and the deer), it's not a photoshopper. There were about 5 or 6 more pics of it that showed more detail but I thought it might not be best to post all of the pieces and parts.

Java Junky · 04-20-2008, 12:53 PM

Not to belabor the point, but Don'z brought out something that we could all use a little remindin'uv: reality.

DJJSR · 04-20-2008, 01:30 PM

WOW! I thought a deer was bad. You know that it probably didn't go well for the folks that tangled with that moose. And here I am worrying about being pooped on by a crow.

Java Junky · 04-20-2008, 01:44 PM

I had seen flicks of one with a stray horse. I was lookin' fer that when I came across the moose flicks.
Our deer n' moose flicks're pikerz compared ta the horse one.
If I find it again I'll post it.

s2000isu · 04-20-2008, 02:05 PM

Driving home from my gf's at night I always worry about deer. Java will know what im talking about its by new hope. Anyways last night I had a run in not with a deer but a posum. Thing was hugeeeeeeeeeeeee I am sure it dented up my exhaust cause I hit the thing going 50 miles per hour.

bobby2002S2K · 04-20-2008, 02:20 PM

wow, I have only hit one deer. It turned out alot better for me and the deer than these pics. I was doin 45 and a dear ran out and hit my truck right in the tire/rim dont know which there was no marks. After stopping and locating the doe, I found it to be just knocked clean out. I was planning on getting some nice back straps but after slappin the deer around for a moment she woke up and ran off.

Java Junky · 04-20-2008, 03:20 PM

I know I ain't tellin' nobody nothin' when I say that you've if you've got any time at all, you've got nanoseconds to make a call. In most cases with smaller animals it's better to just take them out without trying any avoidance maneuvers, especially if your speed is exceptionally high, as the maneuver will likely save the critter but possibly cost you your license to continue breathing as things get out of shape real quick at high speed.
If there's the utopian acres of clear spin-out room . . but we all know how often that happens.
By the time they're in our lights they're so close that only blind luck and a serious change of course is going to prevent impact. That serious change of course is gonna eat up the distance between you and the edge of your lane faster than your approach to your sudden target. Pulling it back from that impending off-road excursion'll be as severe a course-change as the original one. Not a promising outcome to those kind of maneuvers at speed, even in something as balanced as Stewie.
'Best bet is to just pull it down as hard as you can, but keep it straight. If the animal saw you comin' and you stay straight, you're still in the same place that hopefully he ain't gonna wannabee. If you go right or left, you've got a 50% chance of picking his selected escape route.
Good luck to all'a us, every one.

I live in deer Heaven....5 zillion close calls and only one real impact, (at 25 miles per hour...and man, I've grazed a few)

It amazes me that a tiny little animal like a ground squirrel, that probably has a brain the size of a pea, is smart enough to not run in front of a car. But a deer, that I think has a much larger brain, is just oblivious to a 2 ton mass of steel rushing towards him. (and yet they seem so alert during hunting season)

Java Junky · 04-21-2008, 04:02 AM

Groun' squirrelz don't favor the dark.

makopolo · 04-21-2008, 04:51 AM

I used to work in Cincinnati and had to drive east to Peebles about once a week very early in the morning and had many close calls with deer. It seems that even when they see you they try to run away from the car by going straight along the road instead of just steping out of the way. I was lucky to never hit one, but i did run over a turtle.

Java Junky · 04-21-2008, 05:01 AM

Yearz back I'd set up the Ol' Camino with a set'a top'a-the-line Cibies because'a my wantin' ta have'z much warnin'z possible with wildlife wanderin' into my path at night.
All they did wuz give me a lastin' impression'a the look on some poor racoon'z face as he turned road-pizza.
