“Safety rule of thumb for deer crossing into your path while driving:
Just hit the damn thing!
The stories are legion of those who tried to avoid hitting the deer and they ended up dead.”
About 20 years ago I went off the road to avoid hitting a beef calf that had gotten through the fence. Totaled the truck. Would have been far better off hitting the dang calf.
Indeed it would have. Glad you’re ok though!
