    was going down hill and the deer was in right lane, i moved over to the left lane and clipped it at 70mph was at 75 thought it went to the shoulder, I pulled into the Wal-Mart DC and got out and saw it was wrapped up in the Deer Catcher...gaurds took pics and another driver from another company. The deer fell off while i was backing into the door, a employee took it, so he can meet up with a WY fish and game warden wo the meat can be donated. Headlight shroud was destroyed but all of the lights still work. missing right corner of bumper and foglight. This pic was taken at 0335.
    Road Assist said i am a deer whisperer...

    For insurance purposes, the deer hit you.

    Good thing you had the guard up there, someone else could have hit the carcass

    How can a Prime truck manage to kill a deer? I thought those trucks were slow...lol
    Seriously though, at least it didn't go thru the windshield-that would've been real bad.
