Seriously, I was driving to town on the first day of deer season just after dark and an oncoming car put his high-beams on. I brighted him but he wouldn't take his off high beam. I figured "jerk" and kept going. Just after we passed this =psycho= deer leaps into the R front of my car from the left side of the road, essentially ramming my car.
Apparently it was on the left side of the road just at the location that our 2 cars passed each other and the effect of the oncoming vehicle's brights no longer shining at the deer seems to have caused it to bolt into the road (and my car) once the other car had passed it.
And that's how I was hit by a deer.
I had a deer rear-end my SUV. Scared the stuffing out of me. It was broad daylight and he just ran into the road and hit my rear right side. He fell down, but then jumped up and kept going. I was stunned. No damage to my SUV, just a clump of brown hair in the bumper.
My auntie hit a whole herd of them one snowy winter night. She came around a curve and as she says, “one went under, one went over and I don’t know where the the third one went.” Her Mercedes was totaled.
