    Default Hit a deer

    Was on my way to the local Sunday morning car show when Bambi decided it was a good time to stand in my lane this morning.was cruising around 45ish and boom,their she was.hit her on the drivers side headlight section of the front bumper..she went off to my left and did a few flips..got up and ran into the woods.I didn’t even want to look at my car..turns out it was not as bad as I thought.one broken headlight,one scratched up front molding,the worst part,is she dented and creased my hood.moved my hood/fender gap a little.I have hagerty insurance.I’ve never had to deal with them.

    I agree. Just chalk it up to being lucky. Down here they run in packs. If you see one there are more coming!!

    Agreed! Very lucky indeed! Thankfully easy repairs and as others have mentioned probably not worth dealing with insurance. Your deductible is probably more than any repair work. Besides, I am sure you will pay more than repair costs down the road in higher rates. Good Luck!
