There's been a rash of this deer thing more so than last year. It's going to get worse as we move into cooler weather which means the rut, hunting season and the force to get fat before winter. The deer here in Central Texas are little by most of your standards. But they're built like a car spring. Hitting one on a bike at cruising speed would be like hitting a bag of ice.

 

Like i said, deer scare the **** out of me. they just run out of the woods and kamikaze your *** with no warning. that being said, i've seen the video before and its pretty rad. if a deer jumped over me my ******* would take a bite out of my underwear.

 

I think it happened so quick he had no chance to react.

 

I have unfortunately had several deer near misses but more importantly and luckily (knock on plastic) no direct hits.

The worst was at night, in the rain, on a 4 lane highway doing 65. A sole, multi-point buck (I did not have time to count points) sauntered out into my lane, looked at me as I approched, apparently deciding if he should proceed across or go back hence he came. As he got bigger and bigger as I approached without having backed-off the throttle, I finally decided to go left. As I swerved left, he spun around and returned into the woods.

The stange, eeriy feeling I still clearly recall is the clipity-clop sound his hooves made on the pavement as I passed within an inch of the MF's white-tailed tush.
