Last one I hit was in the Jeep. It appeared from nowhere out of the
dark. 4 lane highway, I was running about 55 or 60. No reaction from
me but to slam on the brakes and skid to a halt on the side of the
road.
When I finally got the Jeep stopped, the deer fell off the front
bumper. I proceeded on about 1/2 mile to the nearest gas station and
called the Fish and Game(that's all you have to do around here).
Didn't have time to mess with the deer, so I told a couple of good ol'
boys about it, and before I could get back in the Jeep they were headed
out to a pickup in the parking lot.

Don't blame the hillbillies. Blame the rut. Bucks are steady on the move
for a quickie and does will often lead them on a chase before
submitting. The moon is coming full with an early evening transit and
that gets the deer moving after dark even more. Might be different in
your area, but hunters these days mostly sit in trees watching bait
piles. A hunter walking steadily from the stand after dark could pass
within a few feet of a deer and not make it move. Next time you see a
hillbilly driving by with a big buck on the back of his truck, rest
assured that that is one deer that won't be wandering onto the
interstate in a haze of ungulate lust.
Glad to hear your son is okay and here's hoping the insurance settlement
goes his way.
