Driving a back road to go out to dinner. Near dusk. Then this happened.

I was seeing the pickup's life flash right before my eyes. Thought we were done for. Luckily applied the brakes in time.

Thanks for sharing! Those dashcams are nice. I'm about to spring for one soon (with a rear camera option). I always stay alert for deer at all times. Most times you can see them ahead of time if you're alert.

At least the deer had the decency to cross (barely) in front of you, unlike the one that ran right into the side of my car.

Stupid deer.
Between deer and squirrels I think it absolutely disproves Darwins theory of evolution.

Stupid deer.
I had a buck come up out of the ditch and stand at the edge of the road. I braked hard and changed lanes (early morning no traffic) but as I got next to him he attacked the front quarter panel with his rack and eventually slide around the front of the truck as it came to a stop. He ran off and my F150 had a new little dent.

So yeah, I agree, stupid dear.

With the overpopulation of deer I think the state should pay hunters to take deer instead of the other way around!
Food banks certainly could use the meat. I get the some people don't like the gamey taste but beggars shouldn't be choosers especially come next year when all the crop shortages from this year catch up along with increased price in fertilizers constrain supply and shoot already high prices even higher on food.

Gotta be careful when you're behind the wheel in a Maverick and thinking about food.

You start dreaming about an Arbys beef and cheddar - while listening to Effervesence and you just get in the zone. Gotta be careful man. One in 12 Mavericks will

This is what happens when you don't miss. $8,200 dollars worth of damages and waiting to find all the parts over four weeks later
