if there's a deer in the road and you can't miss, at least aim for the back!This is why I don't swerve like a lunatic to try and avoid deer. I just use the brakes, and if I'm going to hit him...I'm going to hit him. It wouldn't be the first time anyway.
I've gone hunter with my 4runner in gorham on flaggy meadow..1am....3 deer on left in yard ...I pass them I said wow that was close....150ft up road...single deer running full speed at 45 degree to truck ..,,.lock brakes sqreeeeeeeech ...BANG! ...WTF...... deer does a "b-boy" break dance on road, then gets up, makes it like 50 ft drops. I get out ........look around, grab my flood light....then I get a visit from four Gorham PD cruisers they get out with weapons drawn,..telling me not to move (The woman that lives alone at the house where in front of her house this happened called 911 saying there was a mad man that was trying to get her or something weird! ).....I get to tell them the story.. they laughed and helped me find deer in woods. The end.It wouldn't be the first time anyway.
