Guys, I killed..

Welp
 
Don't feel bad they are dumb animals. They have no reasoning sometimes as to where they run. If we had more hunters we would have the problems with over population
They're not that dumb. I come across hundreds every year driving that manage not to get hit. If you see one though, keep an eye out for their friends.

Kangaroos were a little dumb though. I hit one of those, and had another run into the side of my car.

Deer are incredibly dumb. They have 4 thoughts, eat, ****, **** and run.

Bears are very smart, yet I've had one run into my car.
 
Pictures or it didn't happen.

Because it's only a deer. No offense.
well... when you said it like that it makes it all ok... ;)

It's my fault. I shouldn't open this thread... and it's not just about the deer, a few other non related posts make me :(

never mind... it's not my day today....

Hope your day gets better. ;)
 
Sorry...sorry for the remarks you are getting when you were clearly looking for words of encouragement

I Live in NC and it happens more often than I care to mention

Good thing is that you are OK

Despite your disbelief, it did happen, and my feelings about it are real.

I haven't yet had a meeting with a deer, but suicidal foxes, groundhogs, squirrels, and birds I've encountered. Never feels good. And by the time you realize they are there, it's too late. When my wife and I were driving to Florida, we were astounded at the number of deer that were on the side of the roads as roadkill.

I don't want to sound harsh but, you probably did it a favor. I know it sounds cruel but, there is an over abundance in the deer population (not many people hunt anymore) and so the life it would have lead would have been starvation or being chased down by coyotes and eaten alive.
I do get how upsetting it can be to kill an animal with a vehicle though. My first time I was hauling a 6 ton trailer on the I-90 going 65mph. There was no evasive action to be taken because I would have hit the driver in the lane next to me and so the mom ran into my truck and the yearling ran into the trailer. The way I look at it is to have some reverence for the animal and then move on.
 
It's ok. We know you are a sensitive soul.
yeah...
sometimes that's bad, sometimes that's good and sometimes that's very good

Hope your day gets better. ;)
well... chronic pain+ stressful day at job+some people's stupidities that I just couldn't tolerate yesterday.... it ended, so I guess it's better :)

Thanks for nice words!


Oh... is there a picture of a dead animal here? No, not looking!
 
Wifey just returned from Canada and said round trip she saw at least 20 deer road kills.

I was on I84 in Pennsylvania when a bear about 500lb's (bigger than a smartcar) ran across the highway and head-butted the side of the car in front of us. He barely broke stride and kept on going into the field past the road. I slowed and watched him go about 50 yards and lost sight of him. Not smarter, just a whole lot tougher.
 
OP, I avoided this thread because of some of the comments (really uncalled for). I sympathize with you. I don't know what I'll do the first time I hit an animal, but I can imagine I'll be pretty devastated. Because although it's *just an animal* to some people, it's also a living thing.



Hope you're doing ok. :hug::
