Or something like that?
On Comet!
Or, on Stupid.
Loved that!
Fly, Forrest, Fly!
I’ve seen plenty of them in Tennessee, even jump over the cab of a truck, although it’s hind hooves did scrape the paint. Then bounded off in the undergrowth.
Had a close call on a motorcycle one time... after that, your eyes don’t stop scanning from side to side.
I’ve seen deer bound BETWEEN the strands of barbed wire on a barbed wire fence. Amazing. Left tufts of hair behind.
Many reports of deer jumping over moving vehicles. They’re not all so good, as many examples of deer jumping into moving vehicles to predictable results.
back in the 80s I was riding my bicycle down a steep hill, and there were a bunch of deer on the right side of the road eating grass or whatever deer do.
I was going about 28mph -30mph was drag limited.
I saw the deer the deer herd saw me and started running down the hill and then crossed in front of me to get into the left side wetlaneds.
I was full on brakes and came within one inch of flipping over one of them.
Sweaty dear smell really nasty.
Most flying deer where a cape.
Driving just outside of town in rural Illinois ten years ago on a rainy day. Four-lane road with a center turn lane. A deer came charging out of some woods. I thought it was going to slam into the side of the car in front of me. Instead, it leapt over the car, landed in the center lane, and went sprawling spread-eagle on the slippery pavement. It then continued spinning on its belly across the opposing two lanes. Once it spun onto the shoulder, it got up and ran across an open field.
I live in central Kentucky. I do not ride my motorcycle at dusk.
When driving at night in suburban Baltimore, I usually modify my route to avoid large meadows. I’ve had deer walk right in front of my car. Good thing I was driving slowly.
Had one try to jump my van on the back road of Fort Lewis, WA, and didn’t make it. It ended up partially coming in my open driver’s side window hit me, snapped my exterior mirror, bent my window molding so I had to bend it back to get the window up, did a 180 from the window and hit the left side of my van behind me and collapsed on the road. I stopped, got my bearings, called security and before they got out there, the thing limped back into the woods. I suspect the bear out there will get it. Jarred my eyeballs and cost me a pretty penny to fix.

Hincapie is a dirty doper
Meh. I remember when a quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
Since we are discussing Cervidaes on FR, somebody has to say that a moose once bit my sister" Let it be me that says it.
On the road I live on was coming home about 20 MPH and saw deer on left side. Slowed down to let him pass, guess he thought I was blocking him. Next thing I know he’s gone but my rooftop antenna is going twang. Checked my car no damage, must have made it all the way over and clipped my antenna.
