There would be no way at 50 mph to stop in time for something (a deer, motorcycle or a car) stopped in the middle of the road.

I was less wary of Bambi in my youth, but now I know that deer are just effing stupid.

Last month a friend was taken out by a deer, even though he was watching other deer crossing and had slowed down to 15mph.
He signaled to the car behind him that there were deer ahead and the herd’s trailing buck got him.

The deer that slammed into the side of his bike was probably running full tilt.

The friend is alive but banged up and his summer will be spent healing, not riding.

Not only do I drive aware and slow through my area at night, I have a 3000 watt stereo blasting rock the whole time.

The deer not only look up and take notice, they run like hell the other way,

In a badly infested area, I play White Zombie.

Best deer repellent ever.
