I am afraid to drive at night here in Maryland, because of all the suicidal deer. I always try to stay behind other cars, so that they will hit the deer instead. That... sort of works.

A fair plan...

I took a deer through the windshield of a small sedan one day [without a scratch to me] and am constantly vigilant now.

I have occasionally seen [dead] elk on US191 between Gallatin Gateway and Big Sky. Even with a small SUV, I don’t want to mix with them. Then there are the occasional Big Horns...

On I-84 through Connecticut, I came across a dead deer, then two stopped cars on the side of the road. The first was a Datsun 240Z with a smashed windshield. The second car—ahead of him—had a completely smashed front end. Pretty sure I know what happened. ;)
