Wife hit a deer...

[mowin]

Well, I get a call from my wife, who was crying so hard, I couldn't understand her.  Finally got her calmed down enough to decipher she hit a deer. Car is 4 weeks old, and I'm thinking " how much damage?".  Momma ran out in front of her, she swerved, but Jr wasn't far behind.  Unfortunately, or fortunately, she hit and killed the fawn. She was more upset about it being a fawn, than anything else.. 

One little cracked piece of trim.  Sucks she hit a fawn, but $100 piece of trim is much better than several grand in damages and a accident on record for the car.

Glad she and the car are ok.

 

Pit roast? 
 

too soon? Someone had to ask!

Glad she's ok. Any pics or live weight of the fawn? Curious to compare it to the one @Chef shot a few years ago. #Veal

I can guarantee @Chef deer was bigger. This little one would fit in your back pocket.

Well.. I'm giving @Chef the benefit of the doubt.  His was a few months older.

First of all,glad to hear she is ok.been watching a mom and three fawns in the field by work for last 2 weeks.monday morning the mom and 1 fawn were on side of rd.saw the other 2 fawns in field yesterday morning..poor buggers.is what it is unfortunately!mine called my work(years ago) crying cause she hit a turkey that was flying across rd.lucky it didn't blow the windshield out is what I said!!!(obviously after asking if she was ok)

Glad the wife is OK! That's the most important thing. Cars can be fixed. And does can make more fawns.

Could've been far worse like the others said. Just tell her it died quickly vs getting eaten alive by coyotes or bears. Lol damage made out well too. I know people that waited a year or more for parts and they're car getting fixed. Never would've thought you'd have to ever wait that long.

My 2020 F250 was just totaled because an 1100$ part was 20-24 months out. The situation right now is sickening!!!

Drove past the scene of the crime twice today.  Both times mom was standing over her fawn.
