I hit a Deer on the motorway. It was on the other side of the reservation, it hopped over and went straight into my car. Damaged the wing. I was more concerned about the welfare of the Deer, but it was no where to be seen. Doubt the poor thing survived though :(

Once hit a deer in Germany many years ago. I was on the autostrata in the middle of the night, doing just under 160kpm and passing a lorry when the thing jumped straight over the central reservation directly in front of me. Had absolutely no where to go. Luckely I was not on a bike, but in a hired Ford Sierra. The whole of the front of the car disintegated which is probably what happened to the poor animal. By the time I had brought the car to a holt on the hard shoulder there was no way I was going back so contacted the police who took care of everything including getting a tow truck out to take me off the motorway. Just think what would have happened had I been on a bike :sad:
Better to be old and grey than the alternative!

Sadly when a deer is struck by a vehicle even if it is only slightly injured they basically scamper off and then collapse with shock and then quite rapidly die.

I clipped the face of a Stag with the handle bars of my GTR once. The police said what did it look like after the crash.

I said "NO EYE DEER"... :oops:

Best I get my coat.

A GTR1000 owning friend hit a deer in his pickup.
Some 45 mins later someone drove past and helped tow the carcass off the pickup so that they could get out.
Injuries - none, deer - deceased, pickup - totalled.
Clarifications - Pickup was an F150, took place in Maine, deer was a 600Kg male Moose.  :eek:

That said a collegue of my dads destroyed his Jag XJ6 hitting a Stag at 60Mph on the A39 near Nether Stowey.
He had some minor head injuries but the Stag made it 5 miles across the Quantocks with a broken leg and pelvis before the Ranger caught up and shot it.

MMMMmmmmmmmmm,.... VENISON! :yes: :banana: :yes: :clap:
