One thing to keep in mind is that deer do NOT have a reverse setting on their transmission. If a collision is inevitable, aim for their arse ... chances are better than 50% that it will lunge forward & you'll be lucky and miss it without losing control or almost lucky & give it a glancing blow.

If you try to squeeze in front of a spooked deer, you've just doubled your chances of hitting it.

BTW, 90% of all statistics are 70% correct so you can take the above percentages as absolute truth.
