Today marks 3 months from my car wreck and what better way to celebrate it than to hit a deer on the way to work..... The same day and about the same time as my wreck as well.
This is the first time I have ever hit an animal. I got out of the car when it happened and the two girls behind me stopped. The girl directly behind me asked if I was okay and if my car was drivable. I took photos of my car in the road, got their contact information and slowly drove the rest of the way to work. Which by the way the turn to my work was less than 200 ft probably. The manager for the front desk actually passed me and turned around to see if I was okay.
My nerves were all messed up. This deer was no where insight and then was in front of my car. I am a very cautious driver and notice deer and animals on the side of the road but this little guy was no where. When I talked to the girl behind me she told me she was him leap from the woody little hill above and land right in front of my car. If I had been going just a little fast she said it would have landed on the hood of my car. I am so glad it didn't because I can't afford to have my car totalled and get another one. Specially since I just totalled my last car in September and had to get a loan to get this one.
Thankfully I have full coverage on my car after my last wreck and it only looks like cosmetic damage was done. So insurance should cover it all.
I am so glad there is only one more day 2018 left after tomorrow and I am off work for it. I don't think I can handle anything else it might have for me .
The picture below is where the damage mainly is and then just some dents on the right side of the bumper. For some reason it won't let me attach the photo from my phone so I will add it later once I am on my computer.

I definitely cried a little because I hit the deer. I am just glad it wasn't a dog or a cat that could have been someone's pet. I have had my dog hit before and it would destroy me if it had been.

The photo wouldn't upload from my phone for some reason so I will have to add it later. I am glad the damage was minimal as well. I just can't handle 2018 anymore so I am glad it is ending.

Several members of my family have had deer problems. So far we have been lucky and not. I am sorry this happened to you.

I am so far the only one to hit a deer in my immediate family. First animal I hit and it had to be the second to the biggest animal in the area for me to hit. I couldn't just get a squirrel or bird.
