    Had a deer encounter last night. Closest call ever without actually hitting it. Two lane road, after oncoming car's headlights disappeared, the deer materialized standing right in front of me. I gave it the brakes hard. Only reason I didn't center punch him was because he jumped out of the way last minute. Needless to say, I backed it down to 55mph for the rest of that section. Here's what my load looked like afterwards with four chokers and a bunch of straps. Not cool. The front was all dead even to start with.

    See the strap on the left is straight because I already fixed it.

    You must have had it cinched down pretty good if that was all it moved. Nothing there to apologize for.

    They were indeed cinched down good. After the shift made them crooked, they were so tight I could barely get them realeased to straighten them.

    That just means they worked as intended, and you did your job correctly.
