When Bambi fights back

[cuervo25_1]

At the request of Cammed Goat I am posting picks of what happens to an 89 cherokee when it hits roughly a 220lb deer at 40mph




The white behind the fender flair is dried snot,so yes i did knock the snot out of it.......at least I hope it was snot.






$240 later I had everything I needed to fix it. The funny thing is since that I no longer have a mystery coolant leak/overheating issue,and i got the egr valve(mine was shot) from the guy as well.What sucked however was I couldn't find the bastard after I hit it.

Way back when (the 70's) we did a road trip in a 1969 GTO. owner hit a deer in Wyoming going 50 or so. We ended up in the ditch ( I ended up in the rear window - no seatbelts and I was asleep).

It tool out the fender, grille and headlight. There were 3 cars full of GI's and we pulled the fender out of the tire by brute force.

Hit a deer @ 70+ once with a 77 cutlass. Car did'nt even flinch.

[GTP231]

Deer ran into the side of the GTP. Ran over a deer that had just been hit buy a Town Car in my previous GTP.

[astyles]

my son just hit a bambi in a 93 nissan truck .....he got lucky that it just skipped down the side of the truck but it took out the whole drivers side

[SMWS6TA]

My friend hit a cow with a HEMMTT Wrecker. The wrecker was fine, can't say the same for the cow.

Actual Letter from someone who writes, and farms.

I had this idea that I was going to rope a deer, put it in a stall, feed
it up on corn for a couple of weeks, then kill it and eat it.

The first step in this adventure was getting a deer.. I figured that,
since they congregate at my cattle feeder and do not seem to have much
fear of me when we are there (a bold one will sometimes come right up
and sniff at the bags of feed while I am in the back of the truck not 4
feet away), it should not be difficult to rope one, get up to it and
toss a bag over its head (to calm it down) then hog tie it and transport
it home.

I filled the cattle feeder then hid down at the end with my rope.

The cattle, having seen the roping thing before, stayed well back. They
were not having any of it.

After about 20 minutes, my deer showed up -- 3 of them. I picked out a
likely looking one, stepped out from the end of the feeder, and threw my
rope. The deer just stood there and stared at me.

I wrapped the rope around my waist and twisted the end so I would have a
good hold. The deer still just stood and stared at me, but you could
tell it was mildly concerned about the whole rope situation.

I took a step towards it...it took a step away. I put a little tension
on the rope and then received an education.

The first thing that I learned is that, while a deer may just stand
there looking at you funny while you rope it, they are spurred to action
when you start pulling on that rope.
That deer EXPLODED.

The second thing I learned is that pound for pound, a deer is a LOT
stronger than a cow or a colt. A cow or a colt in that weight range I
could fight down with a rope and with some dignity.
A deer-- no chance.

That thing ran and bucked and twisted and pulled. There was no
controlling it and certainly no getting close to it. As it jerked me off
my feet and started dragging me across the ground, it occurred to me
that having a deer on a rope was not nearly as good an idea as I had
originally imagined.

The only upside is that they do not have as much stamina as many other
animals.

A brief 10 minutes later, it was tired and not nearly as quick to jerk
me off my feet and drag me when I managed to get up. It took me a few
minutes to realize this, since I was mostly blinded by the blood flowing
out of the big gash in my head. At that point, I had lost my taste for
corn-fed venison. I just wanted to get that devil creature off the end
of that rope.

I figured if I just let it go with the rope hanging around its neck, it
would likely die slowly and painfully somewhere.

At the time, there was no love at all between me and that deer. At that
moment, I hated the thing, and I would venture a guess that the feeling
was mutual.

Despite the gash in my head and the several large knots where I had
cleverly arrested the deer's momentum by bracing my head against various
large rocks as it dragged me across the ground, I could still think
clearly enough to recognize that there was a small chance that I shared
some tiny amount of responsibility for the situation we were in, so I
didn't want the deer to have it suffer a slow death, so I managed to get
it lined back up in between my truck and the feeder - a little trap I
had set before hand...kind of like a squeeze chute.

I got it to back in there and I started moving up so I could get my rope
back.

Did you know that deer bite? They do! I never in a million years would
have thought that a deer would bite somebody, so I was very surprised
when I reached up there to grab that rope and the deer grabbed hold of
my wrist.

Now, when a deer bites you, it is not like being bit by a horse where
they just bite you and then let go. A deer bites you and shakes its head
--almost like a pit bull. They bite HARD and it hurts.

The proper thing to do when a deer bites you is probably to freeze and
draw back slowly. I tried screaming and shaking instead. My method was
ineffective.

It seems like the deer was biting and shaking for several minutes, but
it was likely only several seconds.

I, being smarter than a deer (though you may be questioning that claim
by now) tricked it.

While I kept it busy tearing the bejesus out of my right arm, I reached
up with my left hand and pulled that rope loose. That was when I got my
final lesson in deer behavior for the day.

Deer will strike at you with their front feet. They rear right up on
their back feet and strike right about head and shoulder level, and
their hooves are surprisingly sharp.

I learned a long time ago that, when an animal -- like a horse --strikes
at you with their hooves and you can't get away easily, the best thing
to do is try to make a loud noise and make an aggressive move towards
the animal. This will usually cause them to back down a bit so you can
escape.

This was not a horse. This was a deer, so obviously, such trickery would
not work. In the course of a millisecond, I devised a different
strategy.

I screamed like a woman and tried to turn and run.

The reason I had always been told NOT to try to turn and run from a
horse that paws at you is that there is a good chance that it will hit
you in the back of the head.

Deer may not be so different from horses after all, besides being twice
as strong and 3 times as evil, because the second I turned to run, it
hit me right in the back of the head and knocked me down.

Now, when a deer paws at you and knocks you down, it does not
immediately leave. I suspect it does not recognize that the danger has
passed. What they do instead is paw your back and jump up and down on
you while you are lying there crying like a little girl and covering
your head.

I finally managed to crawl under the truck and the deer went away.

So now I know why when people go deer hunting they bring a rifle with a
scope so that they can be somewhat equal to the Prey.

Some stupid fucking deer ran into the side of my old truck, i think it broke its neck. I made sure it wasnt going to get up so i turned around and ran over its legs so it couldnt move

[LS1Jason]

I had a fawn (prolly 60-70lbs) run into the side of me one night, with me on a GSXR1000. Luckily I kept the bike up, since i had already seen the deer and slowed down to about 40. Ran right into my left foot. Broke 3 of my toes, broke his neck. Wasn't but about a mile from being home.

I know I am a bit late on this post, but i found out last week that a camaro traveling at 70 MPH will knock a baby slap out of a does ass... Thats the third deer I have hit and taken home to eat. :->

My experience with bambi
my only time i ever came across bambi was when i was in my semi heading home with a empty 53' van trailer....was about 3 miles from the drop yard where i could drop the semi/trailer off, and out pops a deer out of the woods and ran along the side of my truck for a good 100 feet. then she just stops and i hear a bunch of stomping and crap and felt my trailer bounce then lug. i sopped the truck and went back to where i thought it would have happened. deer lay dead in the road with all of her guts squeezed thru its ass hole. i drug the still warm carcass off the road to prevent a unwanted surprise for the next passing motorist. firs and lat time that happened. still kinda sucks. but id much rather run one over in a semi than say my camaro, or personal car for that matter

My first and only encounter with a deer was about 5 years ago. I was on my way to school at about 7 in the morning on I-95. I was driving my '96 Chevy Suburban and ahead of me in the lane to my right was a dump truck. All of a sudden this deer runs in front of the dump truck and is immediately turned into a bloody mist. My truck's grille, bumper, hood, fenders and windshield are the recipients of said mist and various bite size chunks of meat/fur. Needless to say when I got to school, I got a lot of weird looks.
