Odd things that Happen when on the Road
Last Fall we were heading south on I295 through Portland Maine. Moderate traffic moving along at 60 mph or so. Out of the corner of my eye I see a Sea Gull carrying what looked like a good size Quahog...

Got off work pulling a double , now had hour and a half drive home.
Moonless night so it dark as can be, all I saw was the flash BANG then only one headlight shining straight ahead.
After saying a few choice words looking in my mirror and seeing a deer fling off the road I continued on down the mountain, figured if it got the radiator the temp gauge would rise.
Another 25 miles into town I come up to a T stop. Made a right turn , no rub so thought maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought, pull up to main street made another right turn, still no rubbing.
Next light made wide left turn , no noise/rubbing.
Two blocks down had to make a hard left to pull onto side street to park by the post office to get my weekly mail and that's when the loud screech noise came in.
There was a bar right across the side street , about 4-5 people out front smoking their cigs starting pointing and laughing.
When I got out they were all cheering me, yelled nice trophy ?!
I'm thinking what the heck are they talking about, they started walking over to me and I thought awe **** this ain't going to be good.
They walk around to the front of my truck pointing and laughing at the antler sticking in my hood/grille, 4 pointer , but it was broke/sheered off.
Yep grille busted out , hood crumpled up, left fender peeled back, headlight assembly hanging by the bulb wires and bumper bent back just enough that the tire only rubbed making a hard left turn...
Now to think back that would have been a good Farmers Insurance commercial...
When you started this story I thought you were going to say there was a second deer and that you were dragging it the entire time.
