so last night i hit a baby deer going about 50. i got out expecting to have no front bumper and i was pissed. luckly i missed the bigger mother deer. the only damage a got though was that i bent the licence plate. it was one of the luckiest things ever.

 

Too bad for the deer. Glad for you the car wasn't hurt bad.

 

Wow, the dear was go 50? Just kidding. Glad to hear everything's OK. Guess there is a good reason for the front license plate. How's the dear?

 

Not for the deer.

 

i went back today and the deer was in the middle of someones yard about 30 to 40 feet up the road. i am lucky i did not hit the mom that was right infront of it or it would be through my windshield. the plate hit the deer in lower stomach and it slid down the road and into the yard. i just keep thinking how lucky i am haha

 

Poor momma deer, she lost her baby.......the car can be fixed....

 

if it's in the road it's fair game.

 

Just ask Irwin. Dodging a deer can be a really bad thing.
Makeithappen,
To bad for Bambi, glad you made it out OK.

you went back and got the deer right, tied it to the roof? Makes for some good jerky

 

haha sorry i cant say i did. did not want 2 bloody the xf's roof haha. but ur welcome to it i think it was better i did not try to avoid or i probably would have had more damage

 

......what have I been preaching?! Deer World Domination one car/driver at a time, just in this case their nefarious little plan didn't work!

 

Yea yea ..... Another deer story.. And I suppose you are saying it just jumped right out in front of you!

Didn't you read the sign? DEER XING Or did you think it said XF Xing.

 

I wasn't going to say it, but I just can't hold it in any longer.
It sounds like an "Insurance Job" to me.

 

Man what's with all of you guys wrecking yours cars days apart, Irwin, Silverfox, and now you?
I want in on this insurance scam, where do I sign up?

 

NO, it is not an insurance job. Given the number of Crossfire/deer incidents, I think there may be a problem with the Crossfire. You know like the cup holder thingy

I don't mean to complain but....Chrysler should have done better.

wow, its the 2nd xfire taking out by deers in a month. I'm going to add a rocket luncher to my hood when I get back from Iraq.

 

I'm in full agreement with Kurts............Deer are EVIL!

Hell, here in Michigan, (I'm sure in Wisconsin too), you can't swing a dead cat by the tail without hitting a deer!




I'm sure this will get some replies......but oh well.........old expression.

 

Thanks, Apkano, you are EXACTLY correct. No insurance scam is necessary, besides, if I was gonna run a scam I'd go after something less potentially fatal, like a locomotive. Some poor guy got killed again this year with a deer ending up in his front seat with him & he was driving an Explorer. It's no joke, they are everywhere. At dusk or in the evenings I drive like the old lady in Apkano's video (now I can't find the thread, gol darn it!).

 

I smacked a boar head-on on my way to work one morning. That thing went flying across the road but luckily for me there was no damage, just the inner wheel lining was cracked and a nick from the tooth on the bumper.

It really sucks since you can't call the animal's insurance company for a claim

 

geeeez i cant get a break can i? lol your a lucky ******* that all it did was bend the plate, wish thats all that happend to mine
