Bronco vs. Deer

[DaBroncstah]

So I hit a deer doing 70 mph this morning. Not a great way to start the day! Gotta wait till Monday for the auto body shop to open.

wowwww that’s crazy!! Glad you made it out safe!! Must’ve definitely had to change your pants after that

Glad you're ok! Can't imagine how scary that must have been. Hope you're back on the road soon!

Sorry about that. At least your Bronco killed that damn hoofed rat. There's always a bright side: four more and you're an ace!

That's a real bummer, they dart out so quickly its over before you realize what happened! At least it doesn't count under collision insurance, but the no-fault comprehensive . . . At least all that was true the one time I hit a deer in PA. I was amazed at how much damage one deer hit could do to the car! Hope you can get the parts without too much wait!

I’m in Bremerton. This was near Gig Harbor

Hey, I guessed the right hwy from the scant scenery in the pics! Damn though. Hopefully it can be revived! The bronco, not the deer. To hell with that rude beast!

Good lord. Feel your pain. I was in my Ranger for 5 months when I sent a deer to god. I was "only" doing about 55. Luckily my damage was nowhere near as severe. But was still out of my truck for nearly 6 months due to Covid part constraints and racked up $7.5k in repairs (shout out insurance)

It is amazing how much damage they can do. A long time ago I totaled a car hitting a deer in Wisconsin. My daughter actually hit a small deer with our Bronco in June but it was in a 35 mph zone and she was able to brake down to about 20 mph before impact the deer slipped on the road so the impact was right on the bumper with no damage other than the A/C condenser which cost me $900 at the Ford dealer.

One of my friends alerted me to "Deer Whistles" for vehicles. I didn't know such things existed but she swears they work.

deer suck! Between the wife an myself we have taken out 3 of them. $25k worth of damage total. Uncountable near misses.
Best of luck!

Here in Oregon we get to keep the deer, even out of season. Although that is one expensive deer, but Bronco tenderized.
Still sucks for you, I hope they do not total it, then you will be waiting like me, 2 years and counting...

We just don't know, tho'. How do you study it? The fact that you haven't hit deer means nothing. Most folks probably haven't. Granted, cheap insurance....

Sorry this happened to you but glad you are OK! Sorry for the deer....
