  Glad you weren't hurt - you were lucky.  Maybe you should
buy a lotto ticket.

  I grew up in Dutchess County, NY, and it is known for being
seriously overrun with deer.  Everybody who has lived
there for years knows someone who has hit a deer or has
hit one themselves.  I have, my father had several times,
and my mother had one come in thru the passenger side window
(it was in and then out) while she was driving at 50mph.
Another friend hit one while riding a motorcycle and wound
up at the bottom of the pile.  These deer are also big-time
carriers of the Lyme disease.  If they were not cute, they
would be gone.

My fam is from Poughkeepsie NY same issue as upstate [roc] ny where i grew up.  Lyme disease is super serious and Im all in favor of culling deer herds.  They supply a benefit to nature but when overcrowding they really encroach and become a pest.  one deer O hit i brought to the restaurant i worked at in roc hoping to slaughter it but the liability is to great.  only do farm raised venison.  I had stowed this in ny back seat of my 2000 grand am gt circa 2005 completely stupid about potential parasites.  Gladly i never experienced it but as a 20 y.o. I felt i had hunted my own deer!
