glad you survived that.  lucky indeed.  thankfully I have learned not to swerve for animals.  That is a very hard reaction to overcome.

Wow, you are really lucky thats all the bumps and bruises you got.  That car is a mess.  I've had many close calls with deer but haven't tagged one yet.  The wife hit one last year or it really hit her.  Did a mess to her Yukon and shook her up.  Problem with hitting them is you chance flipping it up into your windshield.  To swerve or not to swerve, not sure there is a right answer.  You have about oh 1-2 seconds to make it...

No I don't think there is a right answer either. have it going threw the windshield and risk not being able to see where your going. like Ive said b4 the out come was bad but hey I'm glad I'm alive & so is my daughter.

It is ok if the Deer bounce off the windshield but lots of the time they come thru it alive. Fralling deer hooves inside a car is to close to being in a blender. Glad you got away with no broken limbs.
Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

 We've had as many deer run into our vehicles as we've run into them.  I'll NEVER swerve to miss one.  Known to many people who have and the out comes weren't good.  Honestly don't know anyone having one come through their windshield after they hit one but my wife with my daughter had one run into the front right side of our fullsize Jimmy.  Busted the passenger door window and the large window behind it. Just a fact of life when you have too many deer.

  Next Damn Time I'm ruining Bami's ass over lol.  An update on how I'm doing everything seem to be healing good, got good movement in my knee & shoulder. My head was a little fuzzy yesterday but 2 day not so much. I'll be out bow hunting by next weekend. Big Grin
