At least he acknowledged that he screwed up. I ain't perfect either, so I can accept that. It is the cager that screws up, nearly kills me, and then shoots me the bird that pisses me off.

A deer is the reason for (R.I.P.) in my sig. I never saw it, I just woke up in the ambulance. No memory of impact, falling, skidding, rolling, or flopping. An 8 point buck at 60mph does terrible things to a bike

So you understand why I say the only GOOD deer is a DEAD deer!! Hopefully laying in a ditch somewhere, rotting to hell....

Glad you survived the encounter with what sounds like an even lower life form in the cage!

The local independent bike shop owner here says he has hit three deer on the road that goes right by my shop. He doesn't remember the last one.

I know that was not funny at the time, but four hours?
