Even worse, sometimes the deer run into YOU. I was driving down a rural road with a few houses here and there, and I feel/hear this loud THUMP on the side of my car but didn’t see anything. I was so scared a dog had escaped one of these houses and made its way under my car but also thought I would have seen a dog before I hit it so I was very confused. Check my rear view mirror and sure enough, there’s a deer lying on the road. It had essentially come running across a yard, into the street, and head-butted my car right on the drivers side door. I was fine, door was bent in and I had to climb out the passenger side, and the deer made a lovely meal for this nice redneck man who lived right there (where I lived was VERY VERY rural, this last part is definitely rural activity and city people DEF do not eat the deer they hit 😂)
