    I've had dozens of deer just waiting alongside the road to run out in front of me. By the grace of God none have attempted to become hood ornaments.

    If I spot Bambi early enough, I will sound my horn and she'll have second thoughts about crossing. Then I flash my lights at oncoming traffic to alert them of potential danger.

    I have a really loose winch at the very rear of my 53' and I think it scares them when it rattles. I can see them look up before I get there 90% of the time.

    I've almost hit deer with yard goat when I was spotting last year. They were spooked by the July 4th fireworks and came running into the yard at night lol.

    I did hit one in a semi. It was just a doe and went under. It was winter conditions and I wasn't going to mess with swerving or brakes.

    Because it's truckers I thought they would know deer better than most.

    I'm sorry I shouldn't stereotype. It's a bad example for the childrens

    It matches the “CDL’s” a lot of guys get.

    The irony is the CDL came about as an answer to Drivers having multiple Licenses. Lol
