About 20 years ago, I had an old LeBaron... the old ones when they were huge lunking machines. I tried to hit deer. I couldn't. Since then, that's been my strategy for not hitting deer: I aim for them. I always hear about how people hit deer and they didn't even see them until it was too late. Well, that's my strategy: I don't give the ones that I don't see any time to get in my way or to run into me. "Deer!" I step on the gas, not the brake. It's pretty hard to hit them when you're trying to. I haven't been successful yet.
