My wife and I have hit at least 6 deer, I've totaled 2 brand new cars hitting deer. The scariest was when my wife and I were on my Yamaha FJ 1100 running about 85 when 2 deer ran out in the road. I stood on the brakes and swerved left, hitting one squarely in the butt. I hit it hard enuf to crack the fairing, bust off the scoop to the carbs, rip the turn signal stalk off the bike,,,and never went down! Sheer luck. Took a while to regain my composure along the side of the road after that one.
