Brush with a deer
About 6 pm my wife and I were cruising on a country road. No traffic, so I was running about 50 mph or a little under, as it is easier to talk with less wind noise. On the left of the road the grade dropped off fairly rappidly and the woods came within 20 yards of the road. A deer popped out of no where about 100 feet in front of me on a dead run. I smashed the brakes and didn't think there was a chance of missing it. I never heard or felt any impact, but its hind quarter went forward as it move past the car. My wife said it was a good thing it zagged or we would have hit it. I told her we may have bumped it. I can find no damage to the car or marks. so I guess it zigged.
Hitting a deer has been my #1 concern since buying the Cobra. As I suspected, it looks like you will hit so low on their legs that they are going to slide right up the hood.
