I hit a deer that was dead in the middle of the highway once. It was dark and there was no way to go around it in time, so I went right over it.

It was NOT fun. The whole font cowl of my car tore off and I bounced about 3 feet into the air.

I am amazed there was not more damage - I was able to drive on.

Just picture a 150 pounds sack of wet cement hitting you. that’s what it felt like.

I hit a pregnant doe late one night in Buchanan County Missouri. Driving under the speed limit and she was flung back across the road and up the embankment. Car was totaled front left side and undriveable. Waited a long time for a Sheriffs deputy to come. He was a personable young man who told me with a straight face that they don’t patrol that area at night because there’s too many deer on the roads.

Wow! Same thing happened to me in late 1977. It was in the winter and I was coming around Harrisburg, PA on I-81. Huge dead buck in the left lane and I had no choice but to drive right over it...in a Pontiac Catalina, of all things - huge car. Well, drove right over it, bumped the car around, yet it stayed stable. But then the car wouldn’t accelerate which was scary. I turned on the inside light to see that the gear shift was knocked into neutral. Put it back in drive and off I went. Was like I was driving a tank!

Late one night I was driving home when I saw what looked like a big log in the road. I turned a little to the left to miss it, but it moved. It wasn't a log, it was a huge gator. I ran over it, and my truck bounced up twice off the road. I pulled over and grabbed a flashlight and my 22lr I keep in the truck. Fortunately, it was dead. The guy behind me pulled over to check if I was ok. The young man offered me help loading the gator into my truck, but I said that he could have the gator.

The young man told me that a gator that big was worth a lot of money, and he was more than willing to share it with me. GOD spoke to me, let him have the gator. I said I don't want the money keep it. The young man started crying, and profusely thanked me. He said that I've been praying for GOD to help me, because he was fired from my company because they are going out of business. He was going to use the gator to feed his family. He had a new job, but it didn't start for two weeks. Then he gave me a big bear hug. He wanted to know how to repay me, and I told him, just help someone else who needs help.

I believe that GOD put that gator in my path to help this young man. There are no accidents in GOD'S plan. At my old age, I have learned that the greatest thing in the world is giving!
