You got that right! When we're driving back and forth from Pittsburgh, where our #2 son is in college, I'm always nervous at night because I never know if a deer is going to jump out on the highway while we're flying along at 70 mph. That would certainly ruin our day (and the deer's)!
We take a shortcut through the Poconos by Tobyhanna State Park and it is slower driving there, but we've seen deer every time we've gone through there, day AND night!
Up this way, we have moose. THAT'S scary - they're so tall that if you DO hit one, you hit the legs and the moose basically lands with all its weight on your windshield. And they aren't exactly small and light!
A lot of people have bumper stickers that say "Brake for Moose - It Could Save Your Life". What scares me are the people (mostly young guys) who tear around on the back roads at high speeds - they wouldn't have TIME to brake!
