Well that's just scary. Be careful and slow down!
It’s not been too bad so far this season. Only encountered about 20 or so on the roads so far, with a couple of close calls. I train myself to look for glimmers of light from the deer’s eyes (reflected from the headlights) towards the sides of roads.

Whenever I see one of those Deer Crossing signs I always think of this radio station call in. :)

I always wonder, was she really serious or just putting on an act?

Our deer wear reflective vests and carry flashlights....

Pennsylvania Game Commission Advises Motorists to Watch For Deer
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Carl G. Roe today advised motorists to slow down after sundown and before sunrise to reduce their risk of having a close encounter with a white-tailed deer.

Deer collisions are an annual occurrence that will continue through Thanksgiving week and begin to slow down in mid-December. For the sake of public safety, the Game Commission is urging motorists to drive cautiously after dark for the next several months.


Well duh... That’s like telling people here to put gas in your car before the gauge reaches empty.
....my drive to work is on rural interstate, and I've had my share of "encounters"-but the other day on the way home, I saw a road-kill doe that when I first caught a glimpse of it-I thought somebody had plowed into a cow!....damn that was a big ole girl.....
