I am guessing it didn’t suffer long, if at all. Any residual pain on your end?

Had to look up ‘skookum’ ......reckon I learned some Chinook today!

Thing is a beast and surprisingly precise/accurate for the money ($719)
The white part is one piece cast iron!

Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a drill press.....they make a floor stander of the same model for a few $$ more.

None Cal, other than the financial.

Glad to see the windshield is intact and the deer didn't enter the passenger compartment.

I hope all are well (understandably, not the deer).

Interesting, I just got Time Out (Dave Brubek Quartet) on 180Ggr vinyl.

In these parts, it's most a positive reinforcement of interest and admiration.

Hey man, pretty skookum wheels you got there. Mind if I take 'er for a spin?

Best you can ask for. Is that not covered by insurance?
If not you might want to approach the deer's family about compensation.
Personally I'd wait a few weeks till the grief of their loved one's passing has subsided.
Don't wait too long though, the statute of limitations kicks in sooner than you might think in these instances.
All kidding aside, yes, sad for the deer but good for you other than the wallet that will feel skinnier for a while.

Despite the outcries against hunting deer, in these parts of the world often known for hunting, more deer die from automobile contact than "rapid lead poisoning."

When discussing an incident between a deer and an automobile with some insurance companies you must be clear in stating that the "deer ran into my car" and not "I hit a deer."
