Default Midnight 0 Deer 1

I was out on a nice 200 mile ride yesterday thinking photo challenge. Please don't do one like this though. I only made it about 180 miles. Luckily I'm ok somehow I kept the bike up through the whole thing. I didn't know it was Bike season!

They're like rats around here that's for sure, my secretary's husband has already killed 4 I think...cuts the meat and gives it to needy families.

Sucky deal, but glad you're OK to ride another day. Those big jumping rats w/antlers come out of nowhere.

Doesn't appear to be a lot of damage considering it killed the deer. I hit a big buck last year going about 40 with my pickup. He shrugged it off and walked off the roadway. Be thankful it wasn't a larger deer, could have been a lot worse. I don't even think about riding in the evening around here this time of year. Way too many deer, skunks and coons to avoid. Glad you are OK.
