Well, I tell folks about it and show them the pics and alot of them have said “Didn’t you have time??” and try to make out like she was taking a casual saunter across the road.
In fact I didn’t. And from the memories I have she was in full attack mode. My car is a small Sentra and it is the beige color you see alot.
I figure she was out, caught the whiff of a deer, and saw the color of my car and went for it.
I did feel sorry about it. She was a beautiful animal. That particular region (abt 75 miles from Yosemite) has quite a few, I’ve even see them playing with each other in the fields during daylight hours.
I thought they're colorblind? Maybe she whiffed the deer and then saw the movement of your vehicle and attacked thinking it was one HUMONGOUS deer or maybe an Elk.
