I am the person driving who, if you happen to see me, will be weavin' and bobbin' all over the road to miss wooly bears and frogs! I hit a chipmunk one time, stopped, picked it up, and drove around with it in my car the rest of the day. There wasn't a mark on it so I guess I was praying it was just stunned and would come to. It finally became pretty obvious that it was definitely NOT going to come to so I took it home and put it in a little box and burried it. God help me if I hit a deer or something. Actually, I did hit a deer once - foggy evening, doe jumps off bank in front of me with fawn right behind it, doe made it but the fawn hesitated so I put my hand over my eyes and slammed on the brakes, heard a little thud as I came to a stop, peeked thru my fingers and the fawn was rolling up the road in front of me. I was just about to start crying when the little bitty thing lifted it's head, shook it a couple times, wobbled around till it got upright, then hopped off toward it's mother. Now I always watch for eyes, and drive very slow where I know wildlife is about. We live in rural America, so there's alot of critters wandering along the roads. So sorry about the vett. In some states, deer claims are covered and don't raise the premiums. He should check with his ins. co. |
