The closest I came to being hit by a deer was mid afternoon in March or
April a couple years. It was nervous because cars had stopped and her
buddies had crossed. She suddenly bolded toward the road, through the
snow in the ditch and leapt. She landed in the middle of the road and
her hard wet hoofs skittered across the road and she almost slid into me.
