This was on 93rd Street, out in the country, through the Wakarusa River valley. Tons of wildlife. I love the scenery but it comes at a cost. Over the years on this five mile stretch I have now killed two deer, one bobcat, a hunting dog and several possums and coons and seen a mountain lion.Another bad thing about the car is that it only has insurance for personal injury and liability. A hail storm a couple years ago totaled it out and I bought it back because mechanically is was still a great car. This deer hit is purely on my dime, and probably totaled it for good. We'll see.

Oh good heavens John! I'm glad you're okay.Sorry about the deer and your car, though.
I was expecting a sketch of a rack. That was the "hard way" to get a deer!.
Oh John, I'm so sorry! Glad you're all right, we don't always come out well in these encounters.
Thanks, all, for your concern. I was lucky. With a little more force the deer would have been in my lap. With the steep ditches there I would have surely rolled the car over in the ditch. I had the car towed in today to the body shop. Looking at my options. On my way to work I stopped, again, for another look. Still no signs of him.
So glad you are okay, John! I think of this possibility every time we drive home on our very curvy, deer-filled farm road.
Bummer……..
I still enjoy visiting your blog, love your style.
The new sketchbooks look great. I am a printmaker and primarily use Stonehenge. Also use it for my bigger Zentangle pieces.
Hey John! Good to see you're back to sketching! Sorry about the buck collision! Glad you're okay.
