Yeap def a big day for you by the sounds of it!

So im guessing your bullbar took alot of the force saving your cladding etc

[VXorado]

Yikes, at least the damage wasn't too bad and you're okay.

Bad day, hit a deer and got pulled over... Double Whammy!!!! Hopefully you didn't get a ticket when you got pulled over for speeding

[VX KAT]

Man, glad to hear it wasn't worse and you're OK! I too wonder if the bull bar helped minimize some damage..I sure hope so. We got 'em on our cars too, lots of wildlife around here...good to see it might actually work! You need a name change...deermagnet2

I am so sorry I hope you recover well from your stressful day. Let us know how we can help.

Glad you're fine and you got to complete your hike.

Looks like you fared pretty well all things considered.

I would ask if you kept the deer for the venison for your troubles (and not to just let it go to waste), but it doesn't look like the poor guy was all that big.

The last time I hit one with a car, the 70 lbs. of meat from the processing took a little of the sting out of the whole ordeal.

Looks like it could have happened in a worse place though (no ledges or ravines on that side of the road), so that was at least a good thing.

Mark, glad you're ok and it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

I had the same thought.
Venison stew - yummy.
Good to see you are ok Mark, and that the VX will recover.

Looks like the VX fared much better than the deer! Glad you are alright and were able to salvage the day.

Poor Bambi. Glad you're OK though.

[handeeman]

Mark, I too am glad you and the VX made it thru OK.

Glad to know why you use the name.

I shoulda used "ChickMagnet".

It's still amazing how they're attracted to me, even at my age.

You'd think I had a bag of chicken feed tied around my neck or sumpthin.

Mark,

Sorry to hear about your run in, but I'm glad you're OK and that the damage to the VX isn't that severe.

I have to commute every day on a highway that goes through an elk migration corridor and my biggest fear is hitting one of those monsters and totalling my baby. Actually, heading home last night there was an ambulance and three police cars blocking off one lane of the highway because someone had hit an elk, and that sucker was HUGE.
