well, ever had something going on which you could think of no other word but whoa?
Heres a bit of the story since noon today...
took off work at noon for two reasons. one was a road trip at 2pm, the other was to get my sedan to the dealer to repair an annoying squeek they halfway repaired yesterday.
the road trip was ok on the way down. had a 3 hr drive to go pick up a new pistol he ordered. ok, were there, both of us have concealed permits. they do his paperwork, take his license and permit. we then proceed to wait for awhile. the guy comes back and says the purchase is on hold till the feds do something, it will be a few days.
ok, so now he's pissed at this bs.
we take off and low and behold a gravel truck goes by the other direction, with no tarp of course. yup, windshields broke now....
now the good part.
we're on our way back. its dark and were bsing and he's looking for something kinda paying attention to the road.
thats when, of all things, guess what i see on the road in front of us. yup... deer. and all i could think to say at the time was... whoa, whoa, whoa. he looks up and another walks out on the road and stops. he swerves, the deer takes off at us, and as usual...whack!
yup, got im! with the mirror (thank god not the frontend, i hate airbags).
deer went off into the ditch and all thats left of the mirror is the base piece where it mounts to the door and the wires hanging out.so he jumps me saying, next time yell deer not whoa! looked at him and said, i would have if i coulda thought of that particular word at the precise moment. i yelled the only damn thing i could think of...Whoa.
so right now he's kina pissed at the world
generaly, if you hit a deer it will be covered by your comp insurance and be a "no fault" type deal.
I was told by my insurance carrier that I shouldn't swerve to get out of the way of a deer, that I should just hit it because if you hit something else and not the deer than it becomes your fault collision.
sorry to hear about your crappy day too, but glad to hear that you are both okay.

ummm, actually i did have the 357 mag with me. just no ammo. probably a good thing at that point, my buddy was pissed as it was and the other deer where standing in the ditch...
but, he's cooled off this am so things are cool. just gotta find a shop to do the repaires.

He should've been paying more attention to the road ahead of him. You can't get mad about hitting a deer anyway, except at the deer, because they're stupid.
"If you can't shoot the deer, it's because the bullet is moving too fast. Slow the bullet down to 55mph, add some headlights and a horn, and the deer will actually jump in front of the bullet!" -Ron White
Sherri hit a deer with my Mazda last year... luckily it just smashed out the turn signal. I was in the car, got to watch it run up the hill, then back down the hill into the front of the car.
So noone can get mad at anyone but the deer. It was his own fault anyway. Should've been paying better attention!
