Do you have to inform anyone??
Your chef?
Sorry. No idea.
Venison for tea then.
Venison ...

Oh, no idea to report or not.
I'm sure there was a thread about this very possibility not so long ago.
Sorry. No idea

Doe, a deer, a female deer?..............

As a New Forester don't really see this as a laughing matter - report to police.
Nearest friend with a large vehicle.
You're not allowed to pick up your own road kill.
Still no idea?
I'm with Curto - police.
report to police.
Up here, the local bobby would likely appreciate that. His freezer was frequently full of venison.
Inform the Queen!
What the **** are the Police going to do?
Allowed schmallowed
Drag it over the bonnet and have a killer bbq on Sunday.
You could charge a quid per venison-burger and pay for your repairs!
What the **** are the Police going to do?
Make sure there is no debris on the road?
No legal requirement to report hitting a deer (unlike many other animals)
Keep a close eye on the bobby ... s/he is just going to have BBQ all summer ... 😡matt_outandabout - Member

Agreed. No requirement to report, but you can do anyways if it's an obstruction on the road etc etc.

Big bucks
car is a mess
You brocket

I'd charge a buck.... get them sold quick though don't let them stagnate..
How long are you going to hang it?
Hope you're ok.
I drove over a dead one (was pitch black and on the apex of bend). Was a big old thing, and there was a hell of a bang going over it.
Had it been stood, I would have definitely hit it and I hate to think of the consequences of hitting it full on.
Has no one mentioned that hitting deer can be quite expensive?
Lucky it wasn't a moose, could've been a right mess.....

If it's still in the road then phone the police otherwise don't bother.

Well when I was the policeman for the UKs most popular area for hitting deer with cars, I'd drag it off the road onto the verge. Except when the guts had burst out because the smell of that was unbearable and bollocks to that.
Round our way there's signs up saying call 999 for deer collisions. Don't know why 999 and not 101. There's no shortage of the ****ers so I doubt they get a medivac

Fill their freezer with venison?
Sounds like OP got a hoof in the [radiator] slats.

Why call the police to drag it off the road at all if it's clearly optional?
Have moved them from the road myself when out cycling, obv not all motorists are safety-conscious/feel personally responsible to clear the highway after hitting one.
My brother hit one hard in a Smart car, it was never the same, despite replacing a load of panels and glass.

No eyed deer?

That's a significant portion of the car, after all....

Oh bravo!

Indeed.
If your car is a mess speak to insurance, if, as they often do, want some sort of reference number from the police then you'll have to use their limited resources to admit to Bambicide.
I personally can't believe it's now daylight, second page & there's still no gratuitous photo of the car with the blood & guts on it
DEER DEER, the insurance company will say.
If it was a stag the antlers make a great bike hanger for the garage
I had a dear hit me (i was stationary in a layby!) and that alone did 3k worth of damage as it lept onto, across and them off my roof/windscreen/bonnet.
When i rang up to make a claim the insurance company woman on the phone said "Would you like us to pursue the other party" and i replied "You can have a go, but i think they are going to be way too fast to catch"........
It was my first claim in 35 years driving ;-(
Did it just stag-er out in front of you?

That's a bit pricey. I mean deer.
Drag it over the bonnet and have a killer bbq on Sunday.
A stag party?

I see what you did there.
