Re: deer strike ('71vert)
Glad to hear you are okay. That's not the way to hunt... at least if you had shot it, you would have a little extra for supper :jester :lol:
I have deer whistles on my company truck, and I really do believe they work. It seems the deer either run back into the bush, or stand on the side of the road and watch me pass.
I wonder if that's the real reason for ricer exhaust. :jester

Re: deer strike (rexx78)
I have a niece that has had two separate instances where deer came out from along side the road and ran right into the side of her pickup. One almost came inside through her passenger window. Talk about not having any chance to avoid stupid deer.
I used to travel to Scandinavia to visit Saab. The engineers over there told me that they deliberately strengthen the A-pillar on their vehicles because of the chance of hitting moose. The long legs on a moose cause it to ride over the hood and right into the windshield. Saab and Volvo even have a test where they drive their prototype test vehicles into a suspended hay bales to simulate a moose hit.
