On my way home from my parents house tonight, somewhere in Maryland (and 200 miles from home) I found that someone had set up a "deer slalom" in the middle of the interstate. I made it through, but I wound up +1 for my efforts. I almost missed it, I'm pretty sure it stayed in the box......

Sorry to hear about the damage, here is my deer story with a happy ending.

I was driving on a rual missouri road though the south half of an army base, back when such things were possible. Fort Lost in the woods, here in missouri.

I saw a full grown deer near the tree line ahead and to my right.

I honked my horn to make sure the deer ran into the woods, wrong move.

The deer bolted away from the trees and ran into the road in front of me.

I stood on the brakes and the deer looked around and promptly fell on its ass in the road.

I am still standing on the brakes and moving into the left lane, the deer gets up and begins running straight down the road.

So now I am in the left lane with a deer running next to my passenger fender, just joined the herd.

I am still slowing down and the deer gets in front of my car and sees its chance and then cuts to the left in front of my car and runs into the woods on the left side of the road.

My car and the deer never touched.

I will never honk at a deer again. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
