Man, I ploughed into this deer at a full 55 mph too. ****er appeared out of nowhere; my foot didn't even get halfway to the brake before impact. I was out in the sticks, so I wasn't going to stop and risk not being able to get going...I don't own a gun anyway, so not much I could do to help the deer out of its misery if it was still alive.
However, I did get some rather creeped-out looks from people when I made it to a gas station, stopped, and blood was seeping out from under the car.
Good story behind the second deer that I hit. My buddy had bought a beat up old Ford Probe and basically stripped it and rebuilt it himself. Probably took him about a year and a half. Well, he finally gets it going and he's been driving it for a week and we decide to go up to Carrot River to go fishing with Big Wally.
He lets me drive, as I haven't driven this thing yet. After he's done work that Thursday night we decide to go so we could get up early and get three full days of fishing in before we both had to work Monday. So, it's shortly after midnight and I want to see how much pop this car has so he tells me to open it up. We're about an hour and a half from Carrot still, so I start to lay in to this thing.
We start climbing and I get to about about 140kmh (88mph) before this ****ing deer comes out of nowhere and I smoke that ****ing thing hard. Completely smashed the passenger side of the front end and busted the windshield in on to us. We were okay, but that car was screwed pretty badly. It would start, but there was no way it would move.
So we get out to survey the damage, but there is no blood. The deer is standing in the ditch looking at us. It just turns around and gallops off like nothing even happened to it. WTF? The shape of the car must have just flipped him in to the super soft grass of the ditch and it ran off without another word.
We had to call Big Wally to come get us, and he was rolling in laughter about it. Good times.
That was the weekend I got in to my only fight, but that's another story for another time.
