Tell me about it. I hit a deer on the way to work tuesday. Just nicked his ass after sliding 40 or so feet after jamming the brakes on. Didnt do any damage to my truck thank God but scared the crap out of both of us. This morning I had to slam on the brakes again and the rear end broke loose at 50 mph on a wet road and damn near lost control after a deer ran right out in front of me. Missed him by about a foot. Theres deer all over the Island I work on and they all come out at 5AM. Next time I see one jump out in front of me I'm just going to let off the gas and run the damned thing over. I almost lost it this morning. Its a hard thing to do on short notice. Gut reaction is to hit the brakes. I hate deer. I dont even like the way they taste.
