This is NOT how you bag a deer

Some friends were deer hunting over the weekend- a few bagged a deer. (hope I get a little venison) and it's the time of year - hitting one with your car becomes more common- since they are all running away from the gunfire.  I even had a friend who once literally knocked the crap out of one all over his car.

I thankfully never got caught off guard by a "flying deer"- keep reading-

Flying deer batters Minn family A New Ulm couple and their teenage daughter are battered and bruised, but grateful to have survived an extraordinary encounter with a deer.



Chris and Susan Blake and their 17-year-old daughter, Olivia, driving on a Blue Earth County highway last weekend when an oncoming car struck a deer directly in front of them. The small buck became airborne and crashed through the windshield of the Blakes’ Pontiac Vibe.


The deer hit Chris in the face, then glanced off Sue in the front passenger seat before striking Olivia in the back seat. The deer’s momentum carried it right out the back window.
KARE-TV reports Chris suffered numerous broken bones in his face. Susan had scratches to her face and some bruising. Olivia suffered a broken nose and fractured cheek. She’s hoping to heal fast, in time to play the lead in the New Ulm High School play in two weeks.
