[tt11758]

coming from a man who lives in gator country.

sooooo... any pics of dinner? or is that incriminating evidence?

No pics, it was too damned dark out, and too cold to stand out there snapping pics with my phone.

The red and blue lights from the deputy's cruiser did paint a pretty tableau across the snow, however.

Glad you're ok. At least you didn't swerve to avoid it or lock up the breaks. Best deer/car advice I ever got was to drive right through it like it wasn't even there. A deer will do a lot less damage than a tree.
FQ13
PS How many grains is that Caddy, and do you have an approximate FPS for reloads?

It must be a damn heavy projectile....killed the deer and didn't even pop the airbags.  Did screw up the front of the car pretty good, though.

I have to ask. Is your Caddy factory new or is an "R" title?

I only ask because if you hit a deer and kill it with a "R" title car instead of a factory new car the game commission can really give you a hard time. I don't think it's worth the risk.

Just kidding.  

Glad you're O.K.

Which do you think will be better, totaled or worth fixing?

I'd prefer they fix it.  If not then I get to start making car payments again.

This is the down side to new cars. They are much safer for the driver, but that's because the front end is made to collapse to lessen impact. In the old days, you're caddy might have needed a new fender, but you would have gone through the wind shield.Good for your heirs, bad for you. My advice? A Ford F-150 with a Honda catcher, I mean brush guard, on the front.

Car payment suck.

I just paid off 1 car, 1 more to go.

I just have to convince the wife that the car payment savings should be good enough to buy a new gun every month or 2.

Buddy of mine sent me pics last spring of his first deer in MO.  It had gone through his windshield, ass end first and was sticking it's head out of the broken window like a hood ornament.  Missed him by about 6 inches but blew guts and poop all over his car...

Deer can do some crazy things when they get hit, big ones will total small cars nearly every time.  I actually think I'd rather hit a tree!  Now, make that animal a moose.......I'll take a sequoia over a moose....
