Automobile deer crash collision costs?

[Jimdski]

After my Grandson wrecked two vehicles near Belfast, NY while commuting to work, My vehicle losses were estimated at $30,000 each. He did not cause the accidents, he claimed the deer caused  them. Replacement vehicles were a hit in the wallet and the deer did not respond. All the posted against hunting landowners are not responded. Doe permits do not cutdown on highway accidents.

your insurance should have covered everything except the deductible. I hit 3 deer in TN just north of Jamestown on HWY 127 and did a number on my front end. but that was many years ago and my cost was 500.00 taken out of my payment from my insurance. but I really can't complain as I've been a licensed driver for 58 years and only hit those 3 deer, but I've had to stop or break a few times.

The lost vehicle time for work travel is not covered. For every unharvested doe, next spring develops twin fawns put three deer on our roads for deer collision problems. Yesterday in the southern tier areas i counted ten dead deer freshly killed at roadsides. Wake up !!!!! big buck hunters, take a doe first then your big buck. Automobiles kill too many deer now.
