More deer lore....If you have to hit the brakes to avoid hitting a deer, stay on the brakes even if the animal runs out of the way. Deer are herd animals, where there's one, there is more. You brake for the one you can see, it crosses, you heave a sigh of relief, let off the brakes, and then plow into another deer as it follows the first one!

Deer-thirty is the time between sundown and dark...too light for a deers eyes to shine good, yet too dim for us to see them good...bad time of day to be running fast through deer country.

Deer like to run the creek bottoms and ridge tops...you'll see 'em in the bottoms or just on the otherside of the hill you just topped...head lights come down and there it is, right in front of you...splat/crunch!

That advice was given to me by an old rancher and has saved about a hundred deer from death and saved my cars and trucks. Best thing to do is just slow down. Or get the mondo welded up protective bumpers and just bash 'em....a popular sport around here!!
