Hope you stopped and got the carcass for your troubles. Might as well enjoy some venison.

Ouch! Tough luck man.
At least I hope the deer only hit your Impala.

Man that sucks!! Hope the damage was minor...

At least it only hit the side, head-on with a deer can total a car. That's one of my worst fears as I'm driving dirty back roads.

That sucks! Well, at least it was a side impact. Could have been much worse with a front end hit. My daughter-in-law wrote off her Focus two years ago and that was in the city! Rutting season is not all that far off either.

Here's some startling facts:

• State Farm estimates that 1.5 million vehicles collide with deer every year, resulting in 150 motorists deaths and $1.1 billion in vehicle damages.
• Pennsylvania ranks first among the top ten worst states for vehicle-deer collisions, according to an insurance survey.

We were thinking the same thing!

I'm surprised PA is the highest deer collision state. I would have wagered it was WV! We saw quite a few along side the roads coming home from Dover, MD last weekend. Fortunately none were moving out of the highway berms...
