damn that sucks man. That cop must have sucked with a gun if it took him 3 shots to kill it. One in the head and it should have been instantly killed.

I drive a fairly large sized truck here in Washington for Frito-Lay, and each morning at about 3:30AM on my way to my first stop, I have to pay extra attention for deers, as they do exactly what you said...Jump right out in front of you!!! Trust me, with a fully loaded rig, and a slick highway, I don't even try to swerve to avoid the deers and chance going into the multi-million dollar homes that line the lakeside highway. So far I've been fortunate, but it's nerve racking to say the least. Hope all turns out well for your car.

I have been trying to hit a deer for the last year now. I want an ss hood, and most of the front my car painted. So hitting a deer would make it a lot easier on me...but i guess they are just scared of the old Z 28.

**hoss 2000 z-28** · 12-13-2007, 08:05 AM

Just last night me and the lady were driving back from dinner and she stood on the brakes because a doe was about three feet away from the front driver side. Once it passed she was about to go and then another doe came right behind the first! I looked behind us and cars were all slid up on the shoulder, etc. to keep from rear ending people! This all took place on a fairly urbanized area. I mean, fast food places and gas stations were all around this area.

We were lucky but I was very close to having my own deer rant thread!

Good luck, Phillip.

sorry for your lose man that sucks real bad,

I just moved out in the country and I gotta say I've past alot of deer eating in the fields beside the main road. I've seen a few deer dead on the side of the road so when I'm driving home from work in the SS I am glued to the sides of the road. I'm freaking scared that's gonna happen to me. Glad your ok bro just hate that you have to go thru getting your car back how you want it, big pain in the ass.
Far as deer hair smelling you should try smelling possom hair/meat. I found a live possom sitting on m fast 90mm intake one day. That was a mean mother. I covered the sides of my car so it couldnt get out and scratch my 1/4's paint and got my son super soaker and let em have it lol. He got wedged in my header till I cranked up the car and let it run for 3 mins. Bye bye possom lol.

hey guys glad i'm not alone here... so far all i can find wrong with the car is alot of the underside plastic inner fender stuff a little tear at the side marker on the drivers side and a puncture in the nose under the grill insert from a antler. insurance is supposed to get it tommarow. i think it weird how these beautiful creatures can be so graceful in the woods and when they get on open dry roads they loose all since of being. i ve had close calls before with them actually running beside me down the road then darting into the woods so i guess my number was called this time. SPEEDADDICT1 I'M IN NORTH GA AS WELL IN CANTON AREA BUT DRIVE TO ALPHARETTA EVERYDAY. well ill just see what the insurance company tells me. i hope after what heard today is not true alot of insurance companies are using after market parts weather you want them or not ... and depending on mileage and age of car. they decide to fix it or total it depending on value of car ? ill let you know what they say on my car soon as i know .. later guys thinks for the feedback phillip.

**Empatho** · 12-13-2007, 04:53 PM
