Yup, it's rather difficult to be surprised by a deer jumping out in front of you when you sit on your bike in the garage making vrooom vrooom noises all evening. - Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds, the pessimist fears this is true."

My first ride after three months of recuperation from a broken leg(*) could have ended in a deer strike. I was just riding along and watching a driver who had no lights in oncoming traffic and on my next scan I saw a doe standing by the side of the road. Since I was in the right side of the lane, I rode within about 5 feet of her. Because I was focusing on another potential threat, I didn't see her until I was too close to do anything about it. Lucky for me, she just stood there. It was a reminder to me not to fixate on anything while I'm riding. (*) No motorcycles were harmed in the breaking of the leg and it is *great* to be riding again. -hank

You do realize that deer carry all sorts of nasty little vermin, in their skin and inside their innerds? My dog got sick by walking through some deer "pellets" and then licking his paws. He almost died because of it.
