Agree. I stopped riding after I turned 58 and had hit 2 deer in 2 years after moving from CA to Northern Idaho.
A rider hit a deer on State Highway 46 here in Texas several years ago. Dead at the scene of the crash.
See at least one dead deer a week on the road driving into town weekly.
Cooled my desire to acquire a bike and resume riding.
I was always afraid of hitting a deer...till I left town.
Don’t let the natives hear you say Northern, they’ll smack us Cali immigrants silly
