Welcome to our little club. Hope you are OK.
Did you kill it? Buck or doe? How big?

Wow!  Glad you are ok.  Do you hit it or did you just piss it off?  Never seen a bike look so good after a deer hit....  Grin

My ultimate fear. Literally has stopped me from riding. I've only put on about 100 miles this year.

I've been using deer whistles for years and can actually see them head the other direction.

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

It wasn't full grown, probably an adolescent.  I was going about 45-55mph when it jumped out in front of me like a kamikaze.  There was just enough time for me to realize what was about to happen and I did my best not to panic.  Didn't hit the brakes and just focused on keeping the bike upright.

The deer bounced off my front fender and got tangled up in my rear tire. Pucker moment for sure.  Didn't kill it but ripped off one of its rear legs off.  Called 911 since it was still alive and a Sheriff showed up with an AR-15.

Thanks man.  I'm super grateful that it wasn't worse.

Can you shoot me a link to the one you use?  Really considering getting something like this now.

You, sir, got lucky.  Wink

My deer incident didn't go as well, but at least I'm still here to talk about it....

That was close. Glad you're ok. I'm amazed you kept it upright.
Similar to our problem with kangaroos down here.
Is it also a dusk and dawn issue up there?

The deer population has got out of control in our local forests to the point of causing environmental damage. The impact of the introduced species is such, that authorities have relaxed hunting regulations.
