mrb,
Here in Ohio we have deer in abundance. It is a shame that they have something about them that has them run into the road. I see the road- kills daily here and have had them jump out from the side of the road and one actually jumped at me but missed.
One was a big guy, about as tall as a horse. Huge antlers. I stopped and we gazed at each other and I kinda felt that he was trying to tell me something. It does cause a real downtime when there is damage to the car from a collision and I understand.
