Hit a Dear last night in the Supra!

First off there is very surprisingly no damage to the supra!!

I was driving out to my parents house at around 10:00 last night and while passing through Drumoke (a small country village) doing 40mph (the speed limit there) a large Deer came darting out in front of me, I hit the rear half of it on my drivers side headlight area with a very loud bang.

My initial thoughts were 'this is going to be bad' and fully expecting a smashed up bumper, headlight and/or wing but after inspecting it there was no damage at all except a small scratch and a load of Deer hair stuck between the headlight and bumper.

I count myself very lucky indeed, I attended the funeral of a close school friend last Monday after she swerved for a Deer, crashed and sadly passed away.

I guess she was looking out for me this time.

Lucky man,

My Mr2 was smashed badly from hitting a badger.

Oh dear...

(its deer btw)

Anyway, luckily i quess (not for the deer tho ) i was expecting a write off story! not exactly similar to the size of a rabbit or something.

Did you put it in the boot? Venison is rather nice on the BBQ.

Good on you for not swearving. Also, your very lucky i have seen some very crumpled cars with deer hear in

well I went back to see if it was there (in case it was hurt, not to eat it lol) but it must have ran/hobled away.

I was very suprised myself, the standard supra bumper must be very strong, if I had an aftermarket FG front I'm guessing it would have been a very different story.

Why not eat it? If it is dead/dying why waste it? (I'm a country boy where we eat things )

Very lucky. There was a pic on here (or another forum) not so long ago of a hit deer, it went right through the bumper into the radiator

That was lucky for you, and the deer by the sounds of it.

Sorry to hear about your friend though

you were lucky. i have hit 6 over the years, they come from nowhere so you cant avoid them. my 200 sx was written off after hitting one

Yeah, gave em up them , Ben has getting pheasant lately, however sadly the work van has to go back soon, so we may have to resort to different measures.

it's guess btw

Chuck another hedgehog on the barby. Yum

very lucky....an antler up the nose would not have been nice if he had made his way throught the windscreen

You are incredibly lucky,( buy some extra Lottery tickets) My brother in laws Volvo was written off by a doe trying to jump the road.

it was a fair wallop when I hit it, shook me up a bit.

There was a taxi coming in the other direction that must of just missed it after I had hit it, and if I had swerved it would have been a head on with the taxi with the deer in the middle..

Doe a deer, a roadkill deer...

Oooh close shave. Glad to hear the Supe's ok though

I'm sure I heard there's some law that if you run something over you can't eat it, but the next person who finds it can? Maybe it was in America.

im glad to hear you and your sup are ok never really hit a big animal thank god just ran over a pigeon. usually they fly out ur path this one decided not to i didnt see it and my back wheel flattend it i looked in my mirror to see a cloud of feathers. Didnt even make a noise or shake the van at all but i did feel upset its not nice killing even though it was just a pigeon

I believe it is over here actually, deer being protected I think it is classed as poaching... hence the reason I follow

I wonder where you'd stand legally if you personally shoved the deer onto the road, then ran into your car waiting for someone to give it a splattering. I think that's the other half to marcs story... but was he the mastermind, or simply a 4 wheeled pawn in this poaching conspiracy.
