Oooooh Nick, sorry to see that - been there, done that. Hope it's fixable and your insurance company is good to work with, mine wasn't, they just totaled the car.

Sorry to see that Nick, where I’m situated on the globe it’s kangaroos that cause this sort of thing.

I’m actually very lucky to have gone this long without getting one, the past month I have had to slam on the brakes at least 3 or 4 mornings every week. The same big buck ran out in front of me 3 times in the same place at the same time one week 😆 too bad I didn’t get him 😆

G'day Bruce :)

Property owners can get permits to reduce their numbers (because they're native animals), they are shot in their millions. I've shot hundreds for dog food, its not an animal that I enjoy shooting or want to shoot.

My boys and I hunt feral goats, wild boars, rabbits, foxes, feral cats and ducks. We've tried for ages for deer with no success .....we only ever see them when we haven't got a rifle!

You can hunt wild horses, wild donkeys, wild camels, wild water buffalo and there are millions of deer (lots of species) .....all these introduced feral animals and there are endless endless numbers of them can all be hunted 365 days a year and 24 hours a day (with spotlights) to try and reduce their numbers and the impact they have on the country. We don't have hunting seasons here, its a permanent open season to cull them......and their numbers just keep increasing.

interesting, thanks Jim. Deer around here are a common nuisance, its not very safe to ride a motorcycle just before dusk or dawn, have hit several myself. Its ironic that we have to buy a hunting permit to "harvest" them, the insurance companies should be paying hunters to reduce their numbers.

Bruce the local panel beaters around here must thank their lucky starts as the deer, wombats, the occasional cow and kangaroos and Wallabies are their bread and butter.
