My missus was very luck not to get hurt with her deer encounter:
She is still driving the same car, albeit repaired.

MtnGuy, you and your missus are extremely lucky. The Man upstairs was surely looking after her.

All depends, by a basic physics definition it would depend on who occupied that point in space first. Since vehicles are typically going faster than a deer, the deer would have occupied that point in space first, therefore the car hit it.

Mntguy your wife was very lucky. Several years ago in Newago county in Mi a deer went through the windshield and ended up in the back seat. Killed three lady's. I know the EMT that answered the call. He said it was one of his worse encounters. The deer jumped from a high spot on the roadside and never touched anything but windshield as it went through.

This deer also came from a high bank. Fortunately, the force of the impact mostly hit the roof of the car instead of the windshield. When a door was closed, you could see the windshield "breathe" out.....there wasn't much structural integrity left. The only damage was to the roof, windshield, and 1 windshield wiper......we think 1 of the hoofs damaged the windshield wiper.

I think we all need a release from the seriousness of the deer accidents. I propose viewing this as a reminder that deer are our friends:

 If people like us didn't hunt 'em there'd be *many* more deer/passenger vehicle collisions. We're doing our part regarding "animal control".

Oh, I'm not complaining. Personally I don't because hunt I know I'd shoot my own foot at least twice, plus I have a few too many other expensive hobbies.
I like venison though and I appreciate that the meat on the table had a happier life than something that was cooped up until it was trucked to the slaughter house.

I have no idea. This was a picture of a condo listed for sale and couldn't believe people would do that to their kids. I hunt and have taken my share if deer but not a big trophy guy and I think it would give a baby bad dreams.

My friend's cousin wiped out three pickups in one year because of deer! (Marionette, WI)
