As you know, if you've been in similar situations, there's not much you can do. With a bit of a bang and a whump, the long-legged forest rat met a tragic and violent end at the "hands" of the fully loaded '49 1-ton. Oh, incredibly, zero damage to Ole Charlie.  Gotta love an AD truck Stovebolt: 1 Deer: 0

Deer's can do a huge amount of damage!
Could have been much worse.

Yep, it was just me, Charlie and the deer. And now its just me and Charlie  I did think about stopping to grab it for lunch but the septic service guys right behind me did that

I hope those septic service guys field-dressed that deer (road-shoulder dressed)?. There nothing worse that improperly handled road kill.
It's good to know that you and the truck are OK, John

Around here, anyone who would stop for a dead deer generally knows what to do with it looks like its time for me to come down there again Indeed! I think we make a pretty good hunter/killer team Nothing cooler than dressing a deer hanging from a tractor bucket with a chain saw and a sawzall ...
