At 70 MPH. Fortunately damage not too bad. But bad enough. It'll cost me several hundred dollars. And that's just for parts and me fixin it myself.

70 MPH... on what kind of road?
(sayeth the driver safety training instructor)

Our interstate speed here is 80, regular highways are 65. 70 wouldn't be excessive around these parts.

Was it at a deer crossing?

Lol. They really should move those crossings to better spots. Too many deer are getting hit there.

Evidently.

I'm amazed no has asked how the deer was. EVERYONE I told in person asked. My answer, I couldn't possibly care less. I didn't even check.

The problem is, the deer can't read.

I figured you would have had it butchered and in the freezer asap.

Not too bad damage for a 70mph hit.

Ours have yellow lights that start flashing - all they have to do when they want to cross is push a button with their noses which gets the lights going. Some of them can't seem to understand it though and still get hit between the crossings every now an again.

Poor Rudolph! Now who'll guide the sleigh?

Betcha that drivers seat needs cleaning.

I cannot believe that is all the damage that occurred at 70Mph! The deer must have been running in the same direction. My friend's BMW was totaled after hitting a deer at much less speed (50mph or less if I recall). Of course, it may have been a bigger deer too.

Glad you are ok.
