Re: Hit a damn deer

Also, even ifyou are on an empty road, it's still best to hit the brakes. Deer often travel in packs/pairs, so if it's really common to swerve to avoid one, and hit another that's following the other!

That happened to me & my buddies on a trip back from skiing in montana. we were 1.5 hrs east of billings. hit a deer, coast to an off ramp. sit there for 5 hours, waiting for a tow truck, get towed back to billings. car is totaled. It's sunday, so we cannot leave it at a junk yard. We rent a U-haul w/ a dolly for $650 + 700-ish miles of 7mpg, three of us in a cab w/ 2 bucket seats. 12 hour (actually, on the way there, it only took us 10.5, woot!) trop took 23 hours. I am never letting that guy drive again! Then again it was his car...
