Riding in Ford van in 1973 on engine cover between front seats. ( pledge trip) facing guys packed in back( too many) every one yells DEER! And in the time it takes for me to turn around everyone is watching a couple of deers cross over I81 to the right side. I’m turning from the left to right and see the last buck coming from the left. Couldn’t get the warning words out of my mouth before WHAM we hit it. This is a van that is flat across the front with the engine between the front seats. Deer hit right below driver side and crushed in the metal in front of the brake pedal. Driver couldn’t get any braking. We’re going down hill on a large I81 hill. Scary shit. Driver stand# up and practically jumps on the brake pedal. Thank god it worked. We got it slowed down and stopped. Back up the hill every pickup truck in the county was there to take that deer home. ( not open deer season)Troppers told us it was ours. Yeah, throw that dead thing in the van with an overcrowded van of frat boys. We told trooper to give it too the first truck that arrived. Good old boy jumped out cut that deers throat and throws it 8n the back of the pickup. We limp on to our UVA road trip and complete our road trip. True story.
