Seriously, I see a deer almost every day. It isn’t like I’m always on back roads…this picture was taken in a person’s back yard. These guys are everywhere. Sure they are cute but one day I’m going to have one mounted on the front of my car.
What I’ve noticed is that they stand perfectly still until you get very close to them and then, instead of running into the woods on the side of the road that they’ve been standing on for the last half-an-hour, they bolt across the road into the path of your vehicle.
A year ago on February 14th, I was unfortunate enough to witness a deer/car interaction. One deer bounced off my side door. The other committed suicide by jumping in front of a brand new pickup truck. The truck didn’t look much better than the deer. It was grizzly. I mean, really, what can be so bad about a deer’s life that they would want to end it that way? Yuck.
