The young buck I hit in the fog at night during the late '80s was standing
alongside the road and simply stepped out in front of the Dodge station
wagon. I think nearly every bone in his body was broken and that his entire
blood volume had coated the vehicle. A man going to a hunt club nearby
stopped to help. We determined that, by some miracle, the only thing broken
was the grill and the air conditioner tubing. I cleaned enough blood off
the windshield so I could see to drive, gave the hunter the buck, and drove
the forty miles back home with no problem. This was on the 30 mile road
from U.S. 19 at Otter Creek to Cedar Key, Florida where many deer from the
close by national forest graze.

The one I hit in June, '96 suddenly was in mid-jump immediately in front
of my left headlight - no warning.

I've hit 5 or so.
What I do now is lay on the horn as soon as I see one and don't
let up until it's well aft. Usually, the sound of the horn
makes 'em scurry away - which is what I want. I can't say it
has prevented any contact, but seeing them in a hurry to depart
makes me feel good.
