<p>Wow, some of you guys and family members have been really lucky.
I've been lucky in that I've never hit one (oops, now I'm jinxed)
but have seen the results and it ain't pretty. Glad to hear nobody
has been seriously hurt.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Well looks like I live in #5
state. Seeing Steve O. post takes me back to when
I was 16. Just a few days after my 16th birthday I
was riding home from work about 10:30 at night.
Had one of those b*stard deer jump out in front of
me while going 50-55 on a motorcycle. Last thing I
remember is seeing the headlight beam focused on a
brown patch of hide. Thankfully I was wearing a
helmet as it wore through the outer layers just
above the forehead as I slid along the ground.
Outside of a broken finger and ripping off the
fingernail, I had a good chunk of knee ground up.
I recalled seeing a light on at a nearby house
when I passed (it was dark as I walked back). I
knocked on the door and they called my parents to
pick me up. I still vividly recall Big Bertha the
nurse with her scrub brush cleaning the gravel
(they’d just put down fresh oil with gravel on top
in that section of road) out of my wounds. That
was the worst part of the whole ordeal. The deputy
sheriff that came to the ER to write the report
had to come back to verify my license a second
time as the computer still had me having a
learners permit (and no motorcycle endorsement).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A couple days later I was
buying parts to fix my bike back up and as soon as
my hand was strong enough to pull the clutch I was
back riding again. But that incident (and a few
more with cars) has always made me leery when
driving at night in the country.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">15ish years ago I planted 30+
trees on my property around the house. I spent
more $$ on fencing to keep those big rodents from
tearing the trees up than I did on the trees
themselves. Today they are looking very good.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry to hear about the
deer strike, Spencer. I've got two myself.
I'm on the CT/RI border, and according to
published statistics, these states are quite
low on the list. CT is #37 with a likelihood
of collision at 1 in 263; RI is #45 with a
likelihood at 1 in 538. What's really going
on is that there are pockets with very high
deer density, but for statewide statistics,
those pockets get washed out by larger pockets
of low deer density (more urban). Most of my
life is spent in the high-density pockets.
I'm always on the lookout and I see deer
typically 2-3 times per week.

<p class="MsoNormal">My first deer strike
was about 3 years ago, on my motorcycle.
This one happened mid-day. The deer came
at me diagonally from the left, beyond my
peripheral vision, and in leaping across
the road, struck the engine in midair,
right in front of my leg. I was nudged
off the road onto the shoulder but I kept
the bike upright and rode it out. Zero
damage save for picking a few deer hairs
out of nooks and crannies. It was a
fairly small animal, perhaps 100lb. Would
have been ugly if it hit the front wheel,
a guaranteed crash; and would have been
painful if it hit my leg.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Second deer strike, a
year ago, in the car. After dark, around
dinnertime. Similar approach, from the
left, out of my peripheral vision. I was
moving at about 55mph, the posted limit.
Forced to run low beams because there was
a car not far in front of me. This hit
was almost dead-center on the front end.
This was a larger animal. Took out the
hood, grille, bumper, radiator, AC
condenser, one headlight (I think they
replaced both), and required minor body
work on both front fenders. Something
like $8K-10K in damage (I saw only the
initial estimate). Not sure why but that
one rattled me worse than the strike on
the motorcycle. I felt anxious for about
2-3 days afterward.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve had two strikes.
First time the deer hit us in the drivers
window(I will be frank with you. I was
driving and that scared the crap out of me:
no warning and suddenly a deer face in your
peripheral vision and a loud noise at 55
mph). Limited damage. Again, this time,
the deer hit us as much as we hit him. The
front left quarter panel and the extreme
left corner of the front bumper was
damaged. Unfortunately it all got pushed
into the tire, so it really wasn’t drivable,
plus it busted out some lights. </p>

me get a vehicular hunting license :-) </p>

for some long period of
time the 430V always
parked outside with little
covering of any kind. When
I first visited the farm,
I immediately went to
Harbor Freight and bought
a large silver tarp and
totally covered it. That
rim and tire on that
tractor that were
deteriorated faced to the
North under some shade
trees. The tire was flat.
I took over my generator
and air compressor and
pumped up the tire. That
is probably why the
tires/rim on other side
faced South and was in
the sun. You made both
June and I very happy to
read all the TLC you've
done to that special
tractor. You truly have
something to be proud of
for a long time! Joe
