In my area, it's "deer season" all year long!
2-3 years ago, I was driving down the road, about a mile from my house, and glanced left, to make sure that nobody was running out from the street that "T" intersects with the main road. As I'm turning my head back to the direction I'm travelling, BAM!! A deer ran right into the side of the car!
They have to be the dumbest animals around....even a squirrel knows enough to stop and turn back!
