Damn man, that sucks!

You know, if you still had the X, this wouldn't have been as big of a deal. :)

Er...wait, you didn't have an aftermarket bumper, nevermind.

[Powerguy37]

Nice!:021:

It would have went under it ;)

[SirFuego]

Oh that sucks. Glad that you and the missus (if she was in there) were all right (at least I'm assuming you are since you didn't say otherwise).

Are we about to see a Patriuggy? :D

[92YJCBG]

Thats sucks!

Someone hit a 8 point on Galley road in mcmurry where I live. Blood and guts everywhere!!

[MemorEsto]

Brittini was following me.... yeah i'm fine, air bag barely touched me, no seat belt rash or anything.... they can flip that Patty on it's roof and burn it for all I care.
If it's totaled I want to get another truck....

[Jpdst29]

due to the title i thought you were hunting and got one. haha. sucks though.

[JeepGeneral]

Only you hicks from Erie would pose with the buck you hit with your car. Is he going on your wall? :flipoff2:

That's some weirdo that stopped just to take a picture of the deer!!! He held it up...btw, it was still alive while he's holding it's head.

Dude, i've been to Greensburg, it's not too far from Creek Falls.... I don't think our hicks have ANYTHING on your hicks

waaaassssssssuuuuppppppp!!!!!!!!

[JeepSteeler]

Man, that sucks. That is a damn fine buck. I've been sitting in the woods for 2 weeks with a bow when all I needed to do was drive my father in law's Patriot and they would come to me! Sh*t.....

[jeepxj3]

YES! Thats awesome! Not so much for the Patty, but cool you got a buck and didnt even have to shoot it!

My dad hit one with a semi once, sucker ran right into the fuel tanks. Cops showed up and said he was responsible for it, so he gutted it, tossed it in the back, and brought it home to be butchered.

Penndot workers in Westmoreland and Fayette county carry cordless sawzalls for that very reason. I even have a distant (very distant) relative who picks them up sometimes days after they're hit in front of his house. I gave him my doe a few years back and he had 16 deer hanging in his garage. I made the mistake of asking who shot them all!

[crazyasianofpa]

Nice buck. That looks like a total loss to me, but then again I'm not an insurance adjuster. Glad everybodies ok, it could have turned out way uglier. How fast where you going?

[projeeper]

the game commission wants 10$ per point if you want to keep the rack so do not report it to them.

Tell the game comission that if it is their deer they should pay to fix his car.

[skeebs]

waaaassssssssuuuuppppppp!!!!!!!!


LMFAO


Bummer bout the accident. Glad you're ok. Vehicles are replaceable, humans....not so much.

[YZEATER]

damn, that deer would have made someone very happy to shoot him in a couple weeks.:(

I like how you think....

*Update* Not even 8 hrs later when I left work..... some F****** took the horns... WTF

[stillersfan]

If you wanted to keep the meat the game comm will give you a free tag for the deer when you hit one all you need to do is call and notify them.

I wouldn't wanna even deal with that meat... it would have to all be made into sausage. You can tell in the one picture that most of it's ribs and back are broken.

[stillersfan]

That is when you take the backstraps and maybe the hind quarters and give the rest to the dogs... I feed my dogs raw deer meat when I butcher mine they dont seem to have any problems with it. I mean if you think about it the game commisioner will just get rid of the deer why not get some food out of it? Or if you have alot of land leave some for the bears and coyotes.

[yamadog257]

Sorry to see that man, I feel your pain. I hit one 2 weeks ago in my Mazda, and $8000 later its gettin fixed. The air bags alone were almost $2000. Maybe you'll get lucky and get your truck. Good luck!

[Sleeper]

( I will be cutting the head or horns of tonight.....)(if someone else hasn't already)Why? You didn't go through the work of hunting it with archery or rifle or gut it? I hate when people do that or find one on the side of the road. Sucks for your jeep though, hope all is ok.

[Wrecker]

Looks to be about 10400.00 or so in damage. Close to being total. Just a guess though.

Well someone else took them before I could get back to it.

Garage decorations..... after all... I am going to be paying for them.

You think that's it? Radiator moved the engine. The front left and right fenders are into the front doors 3".

They retail at about $17k

[Wrecker]

Just my guess on what I can see in pics. Shop would need to tear off the damaged stuff to be sure.

[JeepSteeler]

I bet you will be close to 9500 or 10k like Wrecker says. I clobbered the front end of my car this summer (off the back of a Jeep compass) and it ran 9k for new hood, rad, fenders, front clip, a/c pieces parts and a bunch of other junk. Worst part was it took 5 weeks due to a delay getting some parts from the UK.

[MemorEsto]

Oh, are you just talking damage... without labor costs ??

[Wrecker]

My guess is both.

[Alley]

Eh so you don't sit in the woods and freeze your nuts off waiting for it to cross your path, but, a kill is a kill all the same just used a bigger weapon. It means you get to claim the trophy.

[stillersfan]

agreed! I hunt but if I hit a big buck I would take his rack and the meat...

[Wrecker]

After thinking about it, I think the estimate will grow after tear down and it will be a total loss. Time to start shopping.

Wrecker, it's funny you mention that. I just got the call TODAY.. almost 3 weeks after the fact that it's a total loss. Insurance initially sent me a check for $9669. But after further evaluation from my body shop. It's closer to $15k.

Time for a truck:003:

PS: why is this in the hunting section? I wasn't hunting the buck with the Patriot.
