Default 9/9/20,Oh deer 9/10/20
The wife and I took a trip to the Blacks Hills on Labor day to avoid the snow Tuesday. Great riding Wednesday and Thursday until a deer came out of no ware and jumped into my windshield and helmet as we're entering a curve.We were on Iron mt rd. heading back to our cabin.

Glad you’re ok. If you had a NY Giants flag instead of the Green Bay flag, the deer probably would have left you alone, just sayin’

Two ways you can look at this.

Lots of damage, bad day.
Very little damage and no injuries. Very lucky day.

I'd say you got off easy.
