Last night while driving to my nephews high school graduation in Napa we were on Hwy 29 North outside of Napa just before the 121 turn off when out of nowhere a baby deer buck. I had just enough time to hit the breaks before we hit him with the right front of the car. Luckily we decided to take the larger vehicle and it was a small deer so, we suffered no injuries and little visible damage to the car. However the right headlight is broken and hanging out by the wires and the corner panel is pushed back so it interferes with the passenger door. The grill is cracked and it is one of those monolithic plastic pieces bumper grill and all. So, the whole thing will have to be replaced.
We made it to the graduation and dinner in Napa later but we did have to explain to my daughter that daddy killed a deer. She seemed to take it well sofar. We used it as an example of why we tell her not to run out in the street.
