Just goes to show that no matter how careful we are, deer are just murderous bastards who are out to kill us.

The world is a weird place.
For those who live in areas with this type of wildlife -
If its clear you cant avoid a collision do NOT try to slam on the breaks / slow down. You want to maintain speed / increase in order to push the animal up and over the car. Slamming on the breaks / slowing down cause the deer to come in closer to the midpoint / windshield.

I pretty much hate deer. They are not cute, they are not good to eat, they are problems nearly everywhere they come into contact with man. Knowing that, I keep in mind certain places where they frequent and drive accordingly. If I hit one, which I have, next time I will back up and do a burn-out on it... rat bastage big rodents.

Somehwhat close to where I live. Just wanted to post because of the freak bizzareness of it all. Seems deer are an issue every year here but I have never heard of an incident like this, although I am sure this isn't the first time. Drive safe this winter!
