Killed a deer, now I feel bad

Hit a cat once (not intentionally before I get flamed, it ran out). Didn't stop, probably doesn't taste as nice as Venison.

Why are people taking the **** with jokes when the OP is clearly upset about it? I would be.

I think the deer is very upset too.

I obliterated a duck last summer which waddled out in front of me when I was doing around 60 on a dual carriageway in my ST220, a quite spectacular explosion of feathers ensued and the damn thing cracked my front bumper. Annoying thing was that I was on my way to do a p/x deal for my current car but fortunately the buyer never noticed the crack.

Also ran a cat over about 20 years ago - I can still feel/hear the sound it made as it got shredded underneath my Ford Granada. As a cat lover that affected me for many months afterwards, I was absolutely gutted.

For some reason, I found this whole post quite funny. I think I have issues.

I hit a fox few years back in a Smart Car doing 80. The damned thing near on totalled the front bumper. I stopped down the road as I thought it had blown the tyre as well.. Got out and walked around the car to see the fox had quite firmly attached its face into the radiator and repainted the front/side panels in a shade of red.

The recovery man was not overly impressed having to put his back into pulling this fox out :p

I've run over a few creatures, couple dogs/cats, lots of wildlife.

I lived in a place with a high population of deers. You're damn lucky you didn't hit one at speed, they are extremely dangerous.
 
So upon further inspection of my car the front bumper is cracked, the grill had slightly popped out (pushed the clips back into place now), and there is a piece of plastic missing on the far left. Also a clump of deer hair stuck in a gap.

My sadness for the deer has turned slightly to anger, . The whole event is a shame though.

I hit an adult fox on a national limit road, not even time to break it ran out before my reaction could kick in.

damn thing totaled the bumper, grills, arch liner, fog, rad on my ibiza. the fox flew off (literally) into a dark field somewhere. no blood/guts mind you.
 
Deer is dead, it didn't suffer, quick & painless.

Far better that than being ripped to bits by some horrible beastie!

I've killed a few animals over the years, worst was when somebody's Labrador ran out in front of my truck, splat - quite literally - I felt sorry for the understandably upset owner.

I'd feel bad if it was a child or person, but an animal in an accident scenario? Personally I'd be glad it was just that and not worse.

OP will undoubtedly be more cautious next time, alas it's how we all learn, from experience.
 
I hit a dog Xmas Eve at like 40mph, scared the crap out of me and shook me up pretty badly. There's about £350 worth of damage to my car which I'm pretty annoyed at. I have no way of proving who the dog owner is either as it somehow managed to get up and run off barking. I just don't know if it ran off to die :(

Probably wasn't hurt too badly if it managed to get up and run away

A dog survived a 40mph hit?! Good God.

Replace the Deer with a person crossing the road and you be getting arrested. :p

Anyway, how could you not see the Deer, they kinda hard to miss?

I didnt get the impression from the OP that the deer was stood stock still in the middle of the road with flashing blue lights hanging from its antlers that could be seen from 800 yards away.

I think it ran out on him and as such he was unable to take evasive action.

It happens. a lot.

Edit/ Not sure if deer have antlers :p

When I hit it I didn't see it and assumed I was about to run over it, then i saw it spinning in front of me going forwards, in this case would have been better looking the rear view.

Makes me truly wonder how people can happily go hunting :/

I've been hunting, it's great. People are so detached from what it means to have meat on your plate. I've been hunting not just to kill the animal, but to eat the kill we do get.

As for running the deer over, it's a shame but it happens. As for not liking venison?! What on earth?! :eek: Once of the nicest meats out there!
