Road Hazard
Late winter is prime time for wildlife/vehicle collisions
 Statistics prove that the rut produces the most collisions between deer and cars, but late winter is also a time to be extra alert for deer along roadways. The stress of winter pushes deer to look for browse and grass anywhere possible and road ditches often have lush reserves animals avoid until forced. Deer/car collisions tally around 1.5 million annually with about $1.5 billion in damages. Maybe there’s a provision in the stimulus package to cover this expense?

I spend a lot of time working in Montana, you would be surprised how often people have to slow down and drive around flocks of Bighorn Sheep.
To the first guy, how did you not realize that you hit a deer. To the second the ram head belongs on a Dodge.
I know eastern KS is really bad with the deer collisions.
why is he parked with a deer on his hood?
Wow how can someone keep driving and not know that a deer is embedded in his front end, that seems like something one would notice.
One more reason the department of motor vehicles should levy for a cut off age for drivers, Really if you missed hitting a 150 pound deer you shouldnt be driving a 2 ton machine , they could of hit a person and drove around with a guy sticking out from under the hood
im not sure i agree with what ur saying blackwolfdm
u shouldnt punish other people for some one elses problem
thats wat grill gaurds are for, we got a home made 1 on out feed truck & weve hit every thing from deer to knock down fighting bulls & even went trough a barn & it aint even bent
Doesn't look like his 'horn' worked.....
That obviously wasn't a 'DODGE' ram (if it was, he wouldn't have gotten hit!)
It's hard to see clearly, but the snout on that deer doesn't look like it's been dragged down the road by that car. Something's fishy here.
well i got a story i was hit by a truck driver thought he had hit a deer its what put me in my wheelchair so if you can hit a big guy like me it was a deer anything possible.

I think I need to get a bigger vehicle!
So did the driver in the Chevy get to keep the horns just to compensate for the damage?
I have hit coyotes in my truck, and have had several close calls with deer from Texas to Nebraska. Try missing a deer while on a motorcycle at way too fast. All were sobering experiences. I have had way too many friends and family injured in deer-car collisions, but they all knew immediately when they hit. I have seen drunks that couldn't figure it out, but everyone else pretty much could give a second by second accounting of what they saw, heard, and felt.
yo wut brand of truck was that if it was a doge theres nothing rong with that pic just a dent and a new logo on the front.and the car pic wow im surprised the car kept running that long to go shopping.
1. That's not what you want to see when you stop over at McDonalds. 2. Montana has WAY too many sheep. 3. Why no moose pics?
road kill. that sux that was a wast of a deer... and that car was mesed up id hate to explain that one to the inshurence company.
were did this one happen. that rilly sux for that person.
Thats wat a ford will do for ya.chevy is the best
yeah that would deffinetly suck. i feel sorry for the deer:(
