Thanks for all the kind words. I rode back out to the spot today, and the doe is still lying right next to the guard rail. I'm not sure if she ended her slide there or was moved there. BTW, I am in southern Ky. near Dale Hollow Lake in Cumberland County. Thanks again.

Deer! We don't have THAT to look out for here in Southern California.
You think deer are scarey...just light some of these up with your headlight.
They are most active from dusk 'till dawn.

Glad your ok. I hit a deer with my car years ago, and I can testify that they are in front of you before you know it. And they almost never travel alone.
