Almost picked up a doe with the Suburban just north of Stillwater Minnesota
Saturday night. I was on my way to a LOON party and she jumped out directly
in front of me. Missed her by a bit, as I had just enough time to lift, and
it was just enough.
I actually hit one with the same Suburban about a decade ago. Dark night, I
never had a chance to react, as the first moment I saw the deer was in the
headlights as the truck struck it.
Be careful out there if you are driving something lower than a 'Burb. A
face full of venison is no picnic.
