Re: I with I had been driving my truck last night.
I hit a deer with my truck, a pretty good-sized doe, doing about 35. I pulled the grill guard back toward the grill and broke the bug shield. The grill shell got a small dent on the side, no other damage. The deer was airborne when I lost side of it. I used a come-along to pulled the guard back out and removed the broken bug shield.

I finally updated this thread with pics. See my opening post.

Re: I with I had been driving my truck last night.
that's not so bad. I would have got a junk yard hood and called it a day.
I've got a couple pics of deer in my trunk. PM me your cell and I'll text them to you |

5mph. The right fender was ok. Bent the frame. You don't want to imagine what I would have given to have been driving my $800 miata instead.. at 10 mph or even 30mph would have been better than doing that to my truck. Hell ill go set it on fire right now if it would bring my original front clip back.
I can't believe anybody would wish bad things would have rather happened to their trucks. |
Re: I with I had been driving my truck last night.
I remember this thread, but just noticed something. It's posted on 11-24-2015 and the bear was hit "last night", although the pics show a date of 03-19-2014? huh?
Not saying it didn't happen, just curious. |

Re: I with I had been driving my truck last night.
We almost hit 4 deer on our way home from the lake :lol: Luckily all 4 brakes locked up and I ended up doing a half assed doughnut (old farmers gravel road) Doing nothing but tapping the side of what has to be the luckiest deer alive!
Teaches me for doing Sk speed limit (50 MPH gravel) on a truck with no computer stuff, could of been worse if someone was around. (still getting used to driving the truck) |

It makes me sick. Driving tired is just as bad as driving drunk. |

More damage under the hood than one would have expected and the front bumper cover was shattered. Not many Honda's in local junkyards. I can't do text pictures though, the phone is only a flip phone and isn't up the task. I'll PM my email if you want to email those. *Deer hits account for some 70 percent of all auto body repair work in WV! |

I'd had two driving tired crashes. Fortunately both were minor and I learned my lesson. I never wished anything bad on my truck. I did wonder though, on a thread where I would expect others might know from experience, if my truck would have fared better. When I began this thread, I feared my car might have been totaled out and I'm unable to buy an equal car for what that car is worth to the insurance company (full coverage still). |

Re: I with I had been driving my truck last night.
ha, I thought about that later, I'm always too lazy to be going through a bunch of menus to set the correct date. I would think with today's technology you should be able to at least tell your device what day it is if it forgets!
