Bad end to a good training day

Gage had had a very good day with some quail in a light rain chasing, hunting, and flushing. These were all new for him. What a thrill for me to watch.

Fifty miles from home I saw the deer coming from the left and it was trying to jump my truck. I hit it, he flipped upside down, crashed into the drivers windshield, wrapped around the fender and its rump crashed through the drivers window hitting me in the head. Scared the holly hell out of me and Gage. I shudder to think how close I came to that end. The rear of the deer exploded the driver-side window and hit me on the face and head. Lucky for me it also hit the back of the window frame and that threw it away from the truck.

A few people stopped and made sure we were OK. One called the accident in and Gage and I waited forever for the State Police to come. A wrecker took the truck and us to a collision center.

My insurance has rental coverage and I set up a rental car to be driven over and we waited for it for about another hour. When it arrived the women driving told me I could not take the pup in the car. By this time I had had about enough, I told her to take the @#$%^&* car back to the rental office . We were stranded 50 miles from home by the Enterprise Rental Company.

I had to have my son drive an hour to come get us. By the time I got home I was worn out and still had to clean the deer.
