I’ve hit 3 of them myself over about 20 years.
Its a Michigan road hazard.
Two and counting for me. It’s a part of life here in the hill country.
I hit 3 of them within 7 years while living in Lapeer county. It was either a rock in the windshield while driving behind a gravel truck, breaking some suspension component on a pothole the size of a buick, of trying to turn a deer into a hood ornament.
Last Fall Beau broke all records and hit 3 deer - AND A STEER.
The deer were small, so were ground into dog food. The steer was insured (owner had a fence down and the thing was in the road) but that was $1,500.00 worth of free meat, just for our effort to butcher it.
One headlight lost and a dented fender on his POS work truck.
I have never hit ANYTHING in my 39 years of driving, so I’m pretty much due. Grrrr!
In PA we call it sport. The Insurance Co.’s call it an epidemic. Why isn’t PETA training these things?
I could not believe the numbers of mule deer we passed that obviously had been hit by semi trucks........
