I have had some close calls (just clipping the deer a couple times), but it took a bit over 40 years of driving before one charged out of the ditch after sunset and ended up hitting the left headlight, sliding across the hood, then sailing over my right outside mirror. How he managed to get up and limp off into the weeds I'll never know, but he did it.

We had to replace all the front sheetmetal/fascia/lights/grille/windshield, but luckily the antlered idiot had enough momentum going crosswise that he didn't cave in the windshield and mess up me or my passenger.

From what I've seen so far this year, when the farmers start stirring the critters up during harvest, there are going to be some body shops keeping busy.

Knew of a couple, had it come through the windshield feet first.

Major and injuries to both.
