I knew that you were likely just making a tongue in cheek observation. I guess what I was getting at when I made the "right of way" crack, was that the deer had the right of way long before the road was ever there.

Steve Being a truck driver for 45 years I have seen a lot of deer vs vehicle outcomes. The one that sticks in mind Is when a deer crossed over 2 lanes, the medium and then crossed over to the other side and ran right into the rear quarter panel of a car. The poor woman never saw it coming. She probably stopped to change underwear. IMO deer are the stupidest animal on the planet. I don't know why they don't consider cars or trucks dangerous? They have seen what happens to others. Almost all animals run away from cars. But not deer. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he’s been able to ride right up on them on his four wheeler, but the instant he steps off and they recognize it’s a man, they take off fast. Something in their instinct doesn’t recognize vehicles as being a threat. Side note. Never ceases to amaze me how far off track we can derail these threads sometimes. And I think this one is probably my doing. Sorry!😁. Squirrel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dear got up and took off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
