How did it turn out?

Man that is bummer!

Spoiled the deer's day...

It didn't look like it went through the prop arc, did it hit the gear leg or the horizontal stab?

Medium/Rare and some stew meat!
Still flyable with inspection and repairs needed

You know it's cheaper to use a rifle than a plane.

Bambi f*ks up!

I really hope it was stew. Damn deer!

Years ago, we almost had elk stew at Big Creek, ID!

Put a deer through the left prop of a 310 I owned 10 years ago. Took 2 hours with a pressure washer just to wash out the gear well. 17 thousand to fix the damage.

Oh, sh*t!

It is a known fact that ungulates prey on humans.

One came bounding out of the ditch and caught me under the handlebars of my enduro bike a few years ago. Nearly killed me.

Couple years later on the same bike I had a near miss with a moose. That would have been nasty.

Definitely a conspiracy.

Bummer...but nice job of continuing to fly the plane.

Once many moons ago I hit a Antelope on runway at night in Rock Springs ,Wyo. in 206 at the time insurance paid to have tail fixed about 4 grand .

George,
You have had some interesting experience's with your airplanes my friend . Glad you're ok and the plane isn't damaged any worse than it was.

I'm hoping you will get down this way with your Wilga, that thing is too cool.
