Since everyone is sharing their deer stories, here is mine. I was on a motorcycle trip in Utah with some buddies and it was late in the day. We were headed to the small town of Torrey, and it was getting dark. Since I only had a tinted visor, I had taken off from the rest of the group and was going about 80 - 85 mph trying to get to Torrey while I could still see.
As I was going through Capitol Reef Nat'l Park, I saw a sign that said "Cliff Paintings". I was looking to my right trying to see any paintings on the cliffs as I sped by, when something suddenly flashed by my vision. I looked back in my mirror, and there was a herd of deer standing in the road that I had just blasted through. It was dumb luck that I hadn't hit any of them!
That was one of my nine lives used up right then.
