That is wild. Glad all the humans are OK.

Looks like the Brezhnev addition.

Looks as if the vette ate the deer

You are very fortunate there are just nicks and scratches. Most encounters with a deer cause the vehicles to be towed away. Very few get to drive home.

Definitely a bummer. I nearly got a deer on my trip home from the NCM. 5 of them darted across the Natchez Trace Parkway right around sundown not too far outside Natchez, MS.

Yes.. The control of the C7 was a huge favor... 65 to 30 In a blink of an eye... The deer did Not survive ...

There is something to be said for driving a car with a low hood line.

A friend driving a small SUV totaled it when she hit a Deer. She ended up with a bump on her noggin.

Glad you're OK. The Car can be easily repaired.

We have Relatives in Natchez.

The Trace is a beautiful Drive, but it is infamous for Deer strikes.

Only drove it during the Daytime.
