Deer Hunting...with a car

Last week I drove the Stanza to Howard's for the first time. I hadn't been driving it because the driver's window wouldn't go all the way up, and it had been cold and rainy. But it was a nice day so I took the Stanza. I harrowed in the wheat fields until it was almost dark, so it was after dark when I drove home. On a dark stretch of highway a deer jumped in front of me and stopped right in front of me. I locked up the brakes but was still going pretty fast when I hit him. It was a large buck, and his rack hit the windshield right in front of the steering wheel. I must have had my mouth agape when I hit him, because I was chewing glass the rest of the way home! I'm just glad he didn't come through the windshield.

The next day Trevor and I stopped at the skid marks on our way to Howard's. He had made it about 30 yards out into a flax field before he died. He was a good looking buck...I would much rather have shot him!
