Wife and I just took a trip from KC. MO. to Hershey PA. Had a fun time with all the mountian roads and back roads. Avg around 32.9 for the trip. A round 40 miles out from kc. we almost clipped a deer. Small buck around 8 pointer+-. On I 70 around 4am I was going about 75 when out of nowhere comes a buck and a few doe's. they entered on the drivers side and were crossing the fast lane when I seen him. It was so quick that I turned right to miss him and left to stay on the road. His nose hit my drivers side mirror and turned it in just a touch. Lucky all I had was not even a scratch. I believe the deer had a bloody noise. Lucky for both of us. I will say they look big when you in the vette. I was so paranoid that a mile down the road I seen a gard rail on both sides of the road and though they were two deer facing each other. Came almost a screeching halt. I stared laughing. Then it was time to slow down till we got home. we also see a doe about a mile from the house but I was only doing 40 when she crossed the street. They think they own the road more so then some of the drivers we passed. Fun trip

Lucky!

Loud pipes save lives! I have herds of deer running across my land all the time and they line the sides of the Farm to Market roads in bunches. Love seeing them, but don't like running into them.
