Worst nightmare

looks like the shadow of the deer is behind the bike

At least it jumped. Probably would have hit me in the head.

I'd need a skivvy check after that. Worse than when that turkey buzzard clipped my helmet.......thankfully that day was wearing a full face otherwise I'd have claw marks in my eyes.....

deer jump

Man that was a near miss. The president of oil company Flying J was killed while riding by hitting a deer I have lived in Ca and had them strike my car while driving they seem to come out of nowhere.

right before I went to yellowstone in 04 a friend gave me two deer whistles. I gave one to one of my riding buddies and put one on my bike. don't know if they work but i ride through deer country all the time and never had even a close call

I had one jump in front of me on my way home from teaching an MSF class a couple of months ago. I don't know how I didn't hit it. It was dark out, and by the time I saw it, it was gone. I never put my brakes on either, but I had that lovely taste of adrenaline for a while.

I would have had to pull over after that!

Wow... Don't know how I'd be feeling after that if it was me... Woah...

HOLY SH*T! Yeah, hard to tell if this is authentic, but it certainly drops the bottom jaw. While riding though Montana enroute to Sturgis, we came into about 75 deer within a span of about 10 miles. Two of them were large bucks standing on the road while we came around a turn... didn't see them until we were right up on them. Luckily we reacted quickly, and so did the deer. I have had a lot of biker buddies smack into deer... some ended up all fine, some not so fine. Ya just gotta keep your wits about you and pray that your number ain't up.

Watched it a few more times, if you slow the video down when the dear jumps and watch the rider it looks like he ducks down towards the handlebars at the last instant....well at least it did to me.

Looks to me like he ducks and then sh*ts himself right after that..... :roflmao:

Yep not a whole lot you can do about that. I’ve had a few close calls over the years. Three weeks ago while running though the twisties I came around a blind curve and had three large cows standing right on the edge of the road… whoa…they were so close that if one would have wagged it's tail, I would have been hit. To top it off, my girlfriend starts laughing… I proceeded to inform her that that could have been the end of us, it would have been like hitting a brick wall.

I notice the guy in the right lane didnt even have a chance to brake ..... pert near took a header himself
