Really bad start

In India they would have that straightened and buffed out in a Day...all on a dirt floor...

And wearing sandals too!

It’s a very high mileage car and the repairs exceeded the value of the vehicle.

Ah. Pity, that. Local farmer here has a Scoobie pickup with 430,000 miles on it. Worth zero - a replacement would cost him £45K.

Did you at least get to keep the deer? I had that happen to me while I was on my way to hunting in a lottery hunt at Letterkenny Army Depot inside their fences. It was 5:30AM and I had already passed the main entrance to the base, but was driving to the fenced in hunting areas, and my driver's side mirror exploded, but didn't disable the car or me. I looked in the rear view mirror and there's a small 8 point twitching on the road behind me. Several other cars stopped and told to report it to state police or I'd get in trouble for poaching if I didn't have police's blessing, so I did call, but I couldn't keep it b/c I was out of state and one of the other locals got to keep it. I should have just taken it and reported it to the game commission guy at the hunter's check in and let him deal with it.
It was a weird day after that too. They drop you off around the peripheral roads and pick you up to take you outside the fence, back to the check in/check out building. I checked in to hunt and got dropped off inside the hunting area and forgot my ram rod in my trunk, so had get taken back for that and then taken back out to hunting area.
I saw nothing and got fed up by 11am. While walking out, I got 2 deer that day w/o firing a shot, but only got to keep one, nearly totaling my car in the process though.

Well I’m writing this as I sit in the blind for MO firearms season. I hit a deer and totaled my car on the way to the farm this morning. Not really how I wanted to start the season. No one was hurt and the Hawken is ready to eat.

Ouch !

Dang, that was quite the adventure

The hits just keep on coming. On my way to work today I had a guy run a stop sign and flee from the scene. I’m a little upset with society right now. That’s two in one week.

Does anyone still use those Deer Whistles, like they used to sell at truck stops?
Do/did they really work?
I know truckers once swore by them, my dad used to have one on his pickup.
Now that I live in deer country I never hear of them anymore??

The Colorado wildlife people used to recommend them. Eventually they did a fairly extensive research project with them and found they did nothing to prevent collisions.

Never put much faith in them. Deer are thick here and this device has worked well for me.

Thankfully you’re ok! Buddy hit a buck with his Tacoma also going to hunt and totaled it on the interstate.
