One of the hazards of rural living . . .

DH hit a deer last week. 

Or, rather, a deer hit him . . .  Again.  *Sigh*

Last year a deer jumped into the right, front side of the Jetta while he was driving the children in to school.  Poor DS was sitting in the front seat when it happened and was still a little jumpy a couple of days later.  The damage to the Jetta was severe enough, and the car was old enough, that the insurance company totaled it. 

So we shopped around and found DH another little commuter car.  We paid it off and, wham-o, another deer collision!  DH had just dropped DS off at his Boy Scouts meeting and a small deer jumped off the bank and leaped right into the side of the car.

 
At least the poor thing didn't suffer.  It was dead pretty much right away.  And, thankfully, DH wasn't hurt.  He just wishes he could have avoided it.
 


Both accidents happened nearby.  One of the hazards of country living, I guess.

Hope all your travels are safe and deer free!
