Living in Montana deer are a major problem.
Usually my loud pipes scare them away except one time,
I came around a corner in a canyon & there was a young buck hanging in the middle of the h'way.
So I revved the sporty I had at that time up to scare the critter & to my dismay the damn thing charged at me.
Locked the wheels up to lessen the impact & the skidding sound must of rattle him cause when I was about 20 feet from him he turned tail & ran back where he belonged.
So if this dude ever logs back on hope he remembers LOUD PIPES SAVE LIVES those stock puppies aint gonna scare a house cat much less a deer :
Count your blessings. My friend was killed on April 28, 2012 when a deer jumped and knocked him off his bike as he was on his way to Leesburg in Florida. He died at the scene.
