better watch out for those malacious deer! they are apparently lashing out at these automobiles,and STRIKING them!must be revenge for seeing their relatives shot to death and tied across the hood of some tobacco spitting good old boys rusted out pickup truck,and then driven back and forth thru town like some freak show in a futile effort to prove the shooters MANHOOD!yeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaa.good thing the deer cant shoot a 30-30.i guess all they can do is hurl their bodies at these vehicles in an all-out kamakazi suicide attack.most intelligent people know that its the vehicle that strikes the deer,usually as the deer is crossing a road.Come on people,these deer are not making HEAD_ON attacks on these vehicles,nor are they STRIKING them. they are usually hit in the side of their bodies by oncoming vehicles whose drivers either do not see them,or do not have time to react if they do see them.strange how in a human accident the vehicle ALWAYS strikes the human,but when its an deer,its always the deer striking the vehicle.oh deer!
