That really sucks. I almost creamed a deer the other night that was standing in the middle of an intersection. Key word is "almost." Sounds like you need to stop driving your T/A for a while... At least you're getting some money from the ***-hat that hit you.

Right now everyone should be on the lookout for deer. I just had 4 deer hits towed into my shop this week.
