Boulder is crawling in deer, I get seven or so at a time in my yard sometimes. Last month I saw one get hit while I was walking the dog. I've been lucky so far not to hit one, but it's not for lack of effort on their part. I've had to do a Houdini at least 3 times in the past five years or so to avoid a deer that seemed destined to end his life with my car. Thankfully I'm a good driver, have good reflexes and can often sense deer before they are visible.

I came close to hitting a cow when driving a tiny Pontiac Fiero. It was dark outside and the cow was black. Can you imagine how disasterous that would have been? Cow would have come right over the hood and landed in my lap 'cuz of how low the car is to the ground.One thing you gotta ask yourself... where are you now? -- James Blunt lyrics

A cow weighs about the same as a Fiero also...Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

We rammed a couple of cows one morning when i was working delivery for a local distributor of Coca-Cola. We hit a patch of fog and the driver started to slow down right away but not in time: we didn't even see them until we were on top of them.

Hmm... sounds like a mess.
I am going to have been off for 3 nights before I go down that stretch of road again. My Sgt said there was a streak of smear about half a mile long. I wonder how much is going to be left...
BTW... I see 3 people have marked "Winston is right." I know I was one of them as its a little running joke, but who were that other two?Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Best poll I've seen in a long time.
(Also the first time on record that both my mom and my neighbour's pet canary have been known to cast their vote around here.)
And I'm glad you didn't get hurt, Donegeal. It would be like losing a part of myself if anything were to happen to you.
Though those are some nasty bruises on your car..

Now there is someone who read just the short story and isn't affraid to admit it...
No. The Deer died instantly. My Sgt claims that it was ripped in two. Its skull was probably crushed when it hit my window and there were bones sticking out of my cars grill.
Speaking of grill, where is my damn venison burgers?!?!?!?!Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

No... I'm just making a joke of it.
My Sgt, who was about a mile back (oh sorry... about 2 km) said he had to swerve to miss a pile of deer only to run over another.
On the other hand, I wasn't aware that you were so into the Road Kill Cafe!Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!
