Fucking deer! One ran in front of my Spark EV as I came around a corner. I managed to hit the brakes, maybe going from 35 to 20. It went full rag doll, flying 20-30 feet into the bushes. No body the next day, so it must have gotten up and hobbled off somewhere. Deer are rats with hooves.

Many years ago, driving an old Toyota FJ55 at ~1am 30 miles from the nearest town an elk decided to step out in front of me. The thing looked into my headlights and moved just a bit and slipped on the icy road and went down looking right at me. I was doing about 50mph so there was no way I was pointing it off the road so I took it head on. That old beast of a truck rolled right through and over that critter but part of it's rack snapped off and punctured the radiator and it shredded underneath so there were bits of flesh stuck everywhere. The antler sealed the hole it made so no harm no foul and that old Chevy 350 under the hood kept purring right along. The flesh froze solid so again, no foul. I got to Las Vegas ~15 hours later and parked it outside the hotel I was staying in. As the flesh defrosted it had an odor, a really bad rotting flesh odor. The hotel made me move the truck to the far end of the property on the other side of the golf course and security drove me back and told me that they'd give me a ride out when I was ready to leave. The only real damage was something got up into the engine compartment and shredded the alternator belt and a piece got wedged in behind the cooling fan and it ate itself for lunch so I had to replace the belt and alternator. The antler was still stuck in the radiator when I sold the truck 2 years later. |
