RE: If you can't avoid hitting a deer ...
Had a couple hit one here in Kansas, Bad mess deer came out of ditch so fast he didn't have time to brake. Hit the deer broadside at about 75 MPH. Wife didn't make it he's life watched deer was drug abot 100 yards and nonrecognisable. Deer whistles make the deer stop they don't scare them off they make them stop in thier tracks. Hopefully you can miss them.

When I see a deer coming out of the woods I alway looking for a few more to following it. Everytime I've had to avoid one there usaually is one or more chargeing behind it a few seconds later.

When you see 1 deer cross the road - or on the size of the road - I would use caution for the next 100 yards at a minimum, looking out for more...

The only way to scare a deer is to be hunting for one, otherwise, they are everywhere when you are not hunting.
I say full steam ahead, hit them hard to punish them for deering to cross into our emvironment.....

I agree with cache here, I read an article that said "most people wreck trying to avoid the deer, rather than from hitting the deer." This article suggested heading straight for the deer. I don't know I would have a hard time heading for a big 12 pointer...

I say you brace yourself, stay your course, and maintain control of the bike the best you can.
Easily said, but most folks aren't skilled enough to take evasive action....usually they cause more injury and damage.....if not death....always have an out if possible.
....Your better off hitting the object as directly as you can and then access the damage..

At least that is the theory!
