There is a saying about deer...
When you see one you better watch for the next couple because those are the ones you could hit...
Early morning is a prime time for deer to be grazing near the highway, etc...
We live in a somewhat rural area (although that's changing) and I'm always worried when my daughter is out driving at night like she does so much. I was out last night near where her boyfriend's parents live and a deer ran in front of me.
