With my friggen truck!!![mad]

Man what A morning I had today.. My subaru wouldnt start so I had to take the truck. I get about 3 miles from my house and Bang!! I hit this buck going about 45 miles an hour. I never even had a chance to react. I saw him out of the corner of my eye and that was it, I hit him dead broad side..When he hit I threw him no less than 25 -30 in the air.. I was lucky there was no structual damage.. My Grill, and driver side lights are shot. and the fiber gl [no swearing please] trim but luckily no dent metal.. Anyway, after I hit this deer, its just lying on the road , I thought he was dead for sure so as I asess the situation this buck picks up its head and starts, bobbing back and forth
blinking his eyes and such like a boxers does after getting knocked out.. Just as i say to myself " no friggen way this buck is getting up", he stands up and trots off, with just a slight limp.. I was stuned. Here I am thinking to myself about how I'm going to gut this deer and throw into my truck for brother John, And this thing trots off.. I hit this deer HARD.. Man< I guess it just shows how tough they really are huh?

I have never hit a deer that hard.. I am still in shock he got up. I feel bad, he was a real nice buck. probally a slammer next season..
I once hit a deer going so slow it was like I pushed him over.. I could not belive he didnt run.. I tapped him. He kinda just fell over. Got up and stood on the side of the road and looked at me like he was saying ,whats your problem pal?? and just kida casually waled in the woods..

I would go back and take a walk and see if you can find him.

He went back on to private property..
I'm not sure who the owner is..

I will see when I drive by the property if I can find out who owns the land.. Its not like there is a house I can walk up to.. And the leash is a great idea. Ill just cut the antlers off and say my Great Dane is very (lazy) as I drag it out....

Unfortunatly I stayed at Moms house last night so I couldnt look for him .. I may go look for him on the ride home tonight though..

I can usually spot deer coming at me, but this thing just came out of no where and was moving!!

I cant help but laugh at the events that happend just after I hit him..

I was al ready to gut this deer and throw it in the back of my truck All of a sudden he friggen picks his head of the pavement like something out of a horror movie... It did creep me out a little..
