And the most important thing to remember is that if you see one deer, assume that there are others nearby. The other day when I was driving home from work, a deer darted out into the highway. I slowed down and kept looking. Sure enough, not 10 seconds later, deer number two darted out into traffic. If I hadn't slowed down, there's no doubt that I would have hit it.

Each and every Monday morning when I drive to work at this time of year, there are new deer corpses on the side of the road.
