    You did not mention deer vs. motorcycles.
    Both myself (2003) and my husband (2004)have hit, or been hit by deer while on our motorcycles. There were serious injuries in both cases.
    There are too many deer and in areas were they never were before. People need to stop feeding the deer and the herds need to be culled.

    I hit a buck two weeks ago going to sonora,Tx on I-10 westbound,mile marker 406.I was driving a ford focus. I saw the deer standing on the road, but I couldn’t brake hard or switch to the left lane.a car was following me too close and a pick up was going to pass me on the left fast. I didn’t swerve, 1st, I push the hazard button to let the car behind me know, 2nd, i tapped on the brakes so the car wont hit me from behind, I held tightly on the steering wheel, very straight. The damages to the car was over 4,000 dollars. Lucky the deer did not broke the windshield. I couldn’t brake hard, i always look in my side mirror and rear view mirror. Lucky I was not on the cell phone or drinking coffee because this happen during the night.
    The main thing was that I did not Panic.from this day i still can hear the sound and i replay the picture. I had to look out for other motorists before I switch lanes. this deer had large antlers and a beard. this was luck and I have good defensive driving skills. never panic. your life or the deer’s life.my life comes first.i did reported to the sheriff.
