I am glad to hear everyone was ok, especially the poor grand-daughters who did nothing and were stuck with a dumb driver. Chuck and I were on our way to the last KYBFN tourney at Big Bone when a deer tried to hitch a ride with us. He had just finished a story about a deer jumping into the side of his truck a few years ago, and I honestly was half asleep seeing as it was like 4 am, when we heard a BAMMMM!! The deer jumped into the side of his vehicle, he had the window down mind you, and hit its head on the side mirror and we never saw it before, during, or until on the way home (more on that in a sec). We pulled over and checked the truck and boat and found a scratch on the back door, can be buffed out, and deer hair all along the trim on the side of the boat. The only sign of blood, if I remember right, was a little under the front haul. So we went to on our way and were WIDE awake the rest of the trip. On the way home we were coming up on the "spot" and we talking about what happened when we noticed a "headless deer" in the middle of the grass between the highway. Best we can figure, since it was the EXACT same spot, is that the deers head got taken off and it flew there after impact It was kind of funny, after obviously, talking about it until I pointed out how close that deer was to jumping IN the open widow. Now that would have REALLY SUCKED.
Hope the boat get better quick!!
