Default Watch out for DEER!

Me and my buddy we riding the other night on a very nice trail we stumbled upon, whe i guess we spooked some deer and the ran across the road one actually tried to knock my buddy of his raptor, the deer was so close to him there were actually marks in the rear plastics from where the furry little fellers hoofs skidding the mud on his bike, thats too close to for comfort, just be careful and pay attention. it would probably kill you if you were broadsided by a 135lb deer and about 45-50mph. be safe out there guys.

I have hit just about everything. Deer, a goat, possoms, squirrles, rabbits, a turky, turtles, a rattlesnake. But the deer i hit on mommy's rancher at like 50mph, at night. But the only thing that happened was i had a bent brush gaurd, which pushed my rack back a little. Thats it. I didn't even wreak. I didn't get hurt or nothing. I consider myself lucky. The worst part was going home and telling mom and pop's to go outside with me. They almost didn't believe me until they saw the hair all over the plastic.

i was running next to these train trax on my way home and saw a group of 3 fawns around the corner. they were running in front of me for a full minute till they went off into a trail, i acutally had to slow down to 4th gear so i wouldnt run them over.
then about a week ago me n a friend were gettin a fire goin, and all the sudden this deer jus skided to a stop like 10 feet from us then turned around and took off, 5 min later we were goin up this trail and a huge doe out of nowhere jus cuts right in front of me off the trail. theres been alot of other close calls like these but that day was jus wierd b/w the deer n old people not being able to drive(jus one of those days i guess)
