So, I am out in the ACR yesterday, and get to a newly paved 5 mile section of four lane highway, with stoplights about every mile...
No traffic - so start going through the gears...
I just get into fourth - and I see a small brown spot on the horizon ahead... Holy shit - I notice there is a deer standing right in the middle of the two lanes on my side... [img]/images/graemlins/shocked[/img]
I am guessing I was probably going around 120 - and now I see this deer trying to figure out which way to run as it can't gain traction on the tar... Damn things are only supposed to be out at night!
Needless to say - I was almost going to be selling venison steaks...

Deer are like extra large squirrels when it comes to brains and cars on the road, except your can't just run over them and flatten them like a squirrel. I recently read that mountain lions have been spotted in Kentucky, making Ohio the last state east of the Missississississippi that doesn't have mountain lions. Ohio has a huge over population of deer (or a huge overpopulation of people depending on whether you are asking the deer or the people), so it's just a matter of time before the mountain lions return to Ohio to eat some surplus deer (and slow moving humans).
Imagine how you would feel if you were cruising on your Harley, at night, with all thse glowing marbles on each side of the road. Damn deer are only good for shooting and eating!

You're lucky you didn't get your head smacked in. With the car sitting so low, you would have taken out the legs sending the center of mass toward your melon! After the airbag goes down you get to see Bambi's ass coming thru your windshield.
I try to hunt deer in the woods by the highway as a civic duty. Unfortunately bow hunting is not as easy as it looks on cable.
