Reply With QuoteWow, 65mph? I think you faired rather well, assuming the photo isn't hiding a deer through your windshield
Time for a headlight and foglight upgrade?

So last night I went deer huntin...
and came home like this
It could have been a LOT worse, but thankfully it wasn't. I was going about 65 MPH at the time and it came from the center devider.

Looks like you got off easy. My sympathies, but it coulda been worse.
This is why I simply will not drive in the country at night. Mulitple incidents with racoons leave me in great fear of one day hitting something bigger.

Deer are not just a country problem anymore. In Pennsylvania the city estimate for deer density is 60-70 per square mile.

Perhaps, but the light in and around cities seems to make hitting one less likely in those areas.
When I'm driving around in the Ontario countryside, and it's pitch black, I know that no amount of caution or headlights will help me if a deer jumps in front of my car. That scares me.

This happened on 202N, just north of West Chester, PA

I take it that is a suburban area?
Okay, what I said might not apply in this case, but I stil believe that driving at night in the country is unusually dangerous.
In any case, bummer. I feel your pain.
