I hope you all are having a better night than I am
« on: November 14, 2013, 09:51:10 pm »
I am standing on top of a huge sand hill in Western Nebraska over two miles from my truck so I could get enough service to call a wrecker.  A mule deer ran into the side of my truck and broke off the diesel exhaust fluid injector line and crippled my truck.  So while I wait for the wrecker to come drag me to north Platte Ne, I thought I'd share my good times with you all.  Enjoy your evening.  Josh

That sucks Josh. father-in-law had the same thing happen with his f350. only he watched as the dumb thing actually charged his truck. evidently the state troopers say they dont like headlights at night.

Not the way you wanna collect your venison is it Josh. You'd think the big rigs would be immune to that kind of damage from a critter collision. I tried to get one to collide with one of my arrows this evening but the deer had
others ideas. Hope your tomorrow is better friend.

Some of that country out there is the backside of B.F. Egypt.  Glad you were able to scrape up some cell service.  Any chance your insurance can collect against the deer's insurance company?  Problem is, most deer nowadays are on the hiways without any insurance. 

"I'm a buck in rut and the moon is out.  Cars. Trucks. Whatever.  I have no sense, but I have horns and testicles. If you bought cut-rate insurance you'd be eating this bill and maybe some badly road rashed venison. Get Buckstate Insurance and avoid mayhem like me!"

Sorry to hear about your troubles Josh. If you decide  to have a cold one while in North Platte stop by the House Bar out on east HWY 30 and tell Gilbert and Mary hello for me. Tell them that I'm buying you a beer and just put it on my tab :laugh:

Thanks fellas.  Wrecker showed up and I'm on my way to no. Platte.  Yep Country, this is my go-home run.  BTW....that big hill I climbed...it was in the middle of a bull pasture.   Four big ole charlois bulls took offense at my presence!  I'm tired!  My legs hurt and my lungs are burnt.  But I cleared the fence and with enough clearance to keep my fellas attached.  So it definitely could of been worse.  Josh
