    I was so overcome with compassion for animals this morning that I left the truck at the yard and used a pallet jack to deliver the products, riding it like a skateboard. I didn't have to use Elogs, burned a ton of calories, and watch deer frolick to and fro, enjoying their youth before a .270 rifle blows them away this winter.

    When you see a deer there's usually another close behind.

    From experience I think best option for night driving and animals is never use high beans and adjust your speed to the conditions of the road/weather/ day. Also using the lane of least resistance. If your worried about deers you go hire a elite sniper sharpshooter and coat your car in some deer fence. Lol
    May God be with us all. Scared the bajesus out of me when I see them deers. I allways make eye contact. Rule number 5 of the Smith system.
