Deer hit by hunter safety instructor
'Looked like a blood bomb'

THOMPSONVILLE -- Hunter safety instructor Fred Feiger has a new experience to share with his students after he survived an unusual car-deer crash in Benzie County.
If only he could remember the details.
"I don't remember hitting the deer. I don't even remember getting out of the car," Feiger said. "The thing that is sticking with me right now is one minute I was driving, the next minute I was standing on the side of the road like, 'Wow, how did I get here?' "
The Lake Ann resident was treated for lacerations and a possible concussion and released from Munson Medical Center Wednesday morning after he struck a deer while driving south on County Road 669, authorities said.
Feiger, 37, was on his way to work at Manistee-Benzie Community Mental Health in Manistee when he passed another motorist heading north on County Road 669 near Wallin Road around 7 a.m. After crossing paths, both vehicles simultaneously struck separate deer roughly 25 yards apart, said sheriff's deputy Ken Fallowfield.
"It was too graphic to explain, the inside of the car looked like a blood bomb went off," Fallowfield said. "(Feiger) lost consciousness and just slowed down in his lane and went off the road to the right."
Fallowfield said the driver of the other vehicle, a Cadillac man, wasn't seriously injured.
When Feiger regained consciousness he realized the front half of a spike-horn buck was inside the driver's side of his two-door Pontiac. Blood, bile and the animal's organs were spread throughout the vehicle's interior.
"The rear portion of the deer, once it split in half, crushed in the roof of the car and was found about 75 yards back," Fallowfield said.
"It probably had to be a bad sight for anyone driving by. I looked like a wreck," Feiger said. "I felt like I was in pretty good shape overall ... the accident could have been a lot worse, that's for sure."
Feiger suffered several cuts from the windshield, bruising from his seat belt and "a pretty good headache," he said.
