Gives a new meaning to
Oh deer.
Glad it turned out as well as it did.

Not sure they really work, but I've got those Deer horns on my RT. That was too close.

Well, you managed to raise my heart rate. Glad it turned out ok.

glad it worked out well for you folks.
maybe this will put a smile on.

Glad she is OK, I have a set of the deer whistles and have gone by deer on the side of the road. The heads are up and alert, but they stand perfectly still.

They must work; I bought a set of "Elephant Whistles", and I've yet to see an elephant!

I'm glad to hear your wife is okay, she sounds like a good rider, and that's why she's okay. That is one of the main dangers of riding in the dark, or at dusk or dawn. The critters are out. I had much the same experience living in Arizona, on my Harley Fat Boy with three Javelina. needless to say I was puckered pretty tight.

The one I ran upon this week was standing that way as well. Only he was in the middle of the road .
