I have come close to hitting deer 2 times so far. First was on my permit, driving in Michigan.. they darted out in the road, and i stopped in time, thought i was gonna get rear ended.
Then, on my way back from michigan this past summer, I was driving straight through. Started at 11am in MI, i just hit the florida border, and about a mile or two up the road, im cruisin around 85(around 4 or 5am the next morning), and i see something on the shoulder. I didnt notice that is was a HUGE deer until i was about next to it. Thank got that little shit just stood there, cuz it wouldnt have been a little accident.
thats why i always have those deer whistle things whenever im driving anywhere where they might be roaming.
