Several near misses but 0 for me personally. My son was driving my mom’s Honda Accord to NJackson HS on US 72 middle of January to the county basketball 🏀 tournament to see my daughter play . He’s driving, my mom in the front seat and I’m in the back . A doe ran into us in front of the subway building in Stevenson. She was soaking wet , I’m sure a buck was chasing her during the rut . None of us ever saw it , just a big thud ! Did over $2000 damage to my moms car . First vehicle that passed us stopped and asked if we wanted it . They drove off with some meat and we went on to the game still a little shook .

I've hit 3 that I remember. Totalled a vehicle with the last one I hit. He was coming across 431 one foggy morning and I didn't even see him before it was too late.
To GOD be All the glory!!!

I hit a big spike in MS one cold morning when I was headed out, I loaded him up and kept going, I have had several near misses and it definitely will shake you up....now when I drive in "known deer" spots, I just slow down a little, but they can come from anywhere at anytime, especially during the rut......

None so far, but I'm pretty sure the sandwich maker swerves to hit them. I shoot every deer I see here on the home place to save the deductible.

I obliterated a spotted fawn one time on the way home from work in mid august. Its back was just about the height of the top lugnut on my tire. It wasn't pretty. Truck smelled like road kill for several weeks no matter how hard I tried to wash it off.

I’ve got several in Alabama. Three times I think it was more than 5000 dollars worth of damage. My insurance company told me I either needed to move or find another insurance company because the amount of deer I was hitting I was becoming a high risk customer and they were gonna drop me.

I have hit 2 both in Alabama. Well actually one of them hit me. Had a buck run into the drivers side door of my truck going in to work one night. I plastered a doe in a car. Popped over a little hill and she darted out of a deep ditch along side the highway right in front of me. I didn't even get my foot on the brakes.

The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.

I’ve only been hit by one deer that went around the back of my Jeep when I stopped for a group that were jumping a a road in front of me. That deer hit the trailer tongue and proceeded to kick the crap out of my rear door.
I did have occasion to witness a guy hit a hog(approximately 250-300 pounds). It was crossing the highway around 3:30 am. The guy was passing me on a two lane road. I was at about 60mph, he was going faster. Hog came out of the ditch and across from my right, got out of my lane and BLAM!! The damage on the sedan dude was driving was extensive.

I haven't hit any myself. Some of my family members are so lucky. I've eaten 4 that were hit in the past 2 years. 😁

I hit 3 in Alabama and my wife hit one here in Missouri in 2011.
It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Hit one on off Hwy 265 just below the fire tower in Fatima back in the mid 90's as I was heading in to our lease before daylight. Knocked her down and she got up slow and just stood there on wobbly legs so I got out and finished her off. Left her laying there cause I didn't want to get caught with a doe with a bullet hole in the bed of my truck (it wasn't doe season yet). When we came out of the woods about 10:30 a couple guys from Florida that hunted on a lease next to ours were standing over her. We stopped and told them what had happened. They asked if we wanted it and we said "No" so they loaded her up. No damage to my truck, the brush guard on the front of my '86 s-10 absorbed most of the shock. Lots of close calls since then but no contact.

I have been quite fortunate and never hit a deer.
