Last year.... A Cowhauler swerved for a deer.
Ended up on the side in the median.
And some cows got loose.
I hit my First cow that day.wore out, passingthru69, fargonaz and 3 others Thank this. -
Ouch.
First and only, I hope?Balakov100 Thanks this. -
I've had one do that before on 80 in PA.tinytim Thanks this.

Yep. The 4-6 inch most trucks can front end dive will certainly increase the chances by 90% of bambi being tossed over 6 feet vertically to hit the windshield.tinytim Thanks this.

i don't hit the breaks don't swerve don't blow the horn basically pretend like the deer is not even there. i find that with as easily startled and confused a deer can get you have a better chance of not hitting them by doing nothing at all and if you do happen to get one it does not count against me on my insurance.
