    i was thinking, "if you cut your wheel and wreck, you're job is gone and your ManCard is suspended for the next 5 years.

    Tony, be honest.... You didn't shoot that deer. You showed that ugly mug of yours and it dropped dead of shock. It's ok. We're all friends here. Lol!!! Hope you saved mr some deer jerky.......

    Animal strikes are considered unpreventable (even though most probably are preventable). Your driving school should have taught "Don't veer for deer".

    (Aside: The entire state of Montana is "open range", livestock always has the ROW. If you hit some rancher's cow, they have to be compensated for their loss and they owe you nothing for any damage incurred.)

    Some companies,

    will list it as preventable.

    Especially if you hit it directly in front of your tractor.

    Unpreventable! Good job. Glad you were not injured. You did what most DDC's would tell to do! Stay safe.:yes2557:
