Oh, deer!
Wildlife fact of the day: the likelihood that a any one vehicle in New York State will hit a deer during the next 12 months is 1 in 153, according to State Farm. The national average is 1 in 208. [via @ps_saratoga]

Hey now, it was a year and a half between deer strikes!
(and are we going to count the bear that ran out in front of me last weekend up in the Adirondacks?)
But yes, I've hit two deer, on motorcycles. I don't recommend it. They're getting more stupid and more numerous this year, too.

You said NOTHING about a bear! That's it! No more wilderness hunting on a motorcycle for you!!!

My only encounter with deer have been THEM hitting Me. Not vice versa.
Suicide attempts by deer are vastly underreported.
