Good news, bad news

Sorry to hear about your nephew's death.

I tell people all the time... "Hit the damn deer! You'd rather fix that damage than the damage resulting from the ditch/other car."

They never listen. Oh, they SAY they hear me but then a deer pops out and there goes another car. The rule among trucks is to hit the accelerator and try to knock off the head for a trophy. Sure a new hood costs $5-10,000 and the rest can easily run into the $50,000 range but it sure beats a totaled truck and lost load in a ditch over a stupid deer. It's not your fault if you hit a deer but it IS your fault if you hit another vehicle or roll it over.
