Friday morning, about 7:20am. About 35mph.
I didn't see him until he was half-way through the windshield... didn't even have a chance to panic. Handsome 8-pointer, about 120 pounds.
He came from behind a stand of pines on the drivers side, and apparently tried to jump over the Trac (according to an eyewitness). His hoof caught the drivers door and he fell onto the windshield. He hit so hard that the Yakima rack at the front was bent and pushed backward nearly 6 inches.
I ended up with a few cuts on my hand from pushing the glass away from my face, but that was it. Very lucky overall.
No idea about repair costs - the insurance company indicated it may be a few days before they can even look at it, since many of the adjusters are still working in the hurricane areas. Anybody care to venture a guesstimate?
More pics in my library.
