I killed Bambi

Ok, not really sure I did, it was on a dark road the night before last when this happened.
Ok, so I was driving home on the back roads which are not well lit, rural NC so lots of deer. I was tired on top of that, not distracted just tired. I hear a BAM, thought I had ran over or hit something or hit a pothole or ran over a branch, ect ect, but even thought, what if I hit a pedestrian, no sidewalks and I see people all the time not wearing bright colors walking at night.
So I pulled over when I got the chance, one lane each way, the guy behind me slowed down and stopped too because I stopped. Scared shitless I asked him what I hit, he said he saw it all. Poor baby deer misjudged crossing, hit the side of my van. It was too dark to look back to see it, plus I was partially blocking the road so I rally couldn't walk back to see what happened, so I got back in glad I hadn't hit a person. I do hope maybe the fawn simpy stunned itself but prob just wishful thinking on my part.
While I have insurance, I really could give a shit less about the van, I am simply glad I was not hurt and didn't hit anyone. But to the credit of SCIENCE and vehicle design, when I did get to the grocery store, with parking lot lights, I looked and found nothing, no dent, no scratches.
PHEW! To quote Maxwell Smart "Missed it by that much".

Did the fawn have an explosive vest? If so you may have saved a lot of lives. Well done!

When I was working for St*te F*rm Insurance Co. I had a claim where a guy hit a deer and it catapulted over his car and landed on the car behind him (our insured's car.) When I was discussing the accident our driver said, "I saw it coming and just didn't have time to dodge it. It just flat-out rained deer." I gave him an extra $500 for that one.

Gee wonder if you are talking about State Farm? Can't figure out what the F**K that abbreviation means.

Killing for sport then going to the grocery store, disgusting.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

No damage? What, did you hit the world's softest deer?

He's from the Texas panhandle. The reason he doesn't hunt is because the only animals within a 200-mile radius are armadillos and horny toads.

I almost clipped a suicide deer last year -- a four-pointer jumped out at my truck right as I was passing it on my way home from work. I had mostly passed him (he was running parallel to the road) when he decided that he should cross.
One of his antlers chipped my tail-light cover, and he stunned himself. I slowed down and in the red glow of my brakelights could see him standing back up, woozy.
They're like fucking rats down here. Rutting season always calls for care out here.

Ugggg, more on off binary thinking.
Killing for sport is when you enjoy killing, killing to eat is quite normal. Humans evolved as omnivores. I only object to hunting when people kill something and don't eat it. Trophy hunting is bullshit. But if someone expects me not to eat beef or duck fuck them. I don't hunt because I simply hate being outdoors for long periods, I don't like sweating or freezing, and yea, the meat is already at the store. But for those who kill dear to eat fine, any conservationist will tell you that killing keeps the deer population healthy.
Same bullshit with cars binary thinking.
Me, "That is impractical"
You, "You hate me, you want to ban everything I like"
Me, "No moron, I simply think there is a better way to do it".
OK, GONNA LEAVE THIS UP so PEOPLE don't think I don't admit mistakes.
I got an ichy trigger finger, I think you were being sarcastic. It was meant as a joke.
I was stuck on the car convo. Sorry about that. Still don't like sports cars, but I can admit I jumped the gun here.
