Deer are spreading here in the UK too, I've often seen them grazing next to dual carriageways.... Mainly Fallow and Muntjac round here, though either wouldn't connect well at 70mph!

Back in the summer of 1970 I used to run my throttle stop up on my '67 A65T and stand up ON THE SEAT with my arms stretched out to the side. Rode that way once for quite some distance through some gentle curves on a back country road in Southern Indiana. I was showing off for a buxom lass riding with me on a Honda 90.

Up North, after the spring thaw, they often frequent the roadsides in search of salt.

When I was 18yo, riding my XS1100 as hard & fast as it would go, all hours of night & early morning, I never used to worry about deer. They say ignorance is bliss. I truly believed my lightning reflexes could avoid it all. 10' tall & bulletproof, I thought.
I see now that was a folly. I thank the lord I never put my family through the heartbreak of deceased youngfolk.

It is not uncommon for me to see thirty plus deer in a single herd where I live. I’m afraid to ride after dark. I have hit deer with every vehicle I’ve owned in the last twenty years or so. Every vehicle.
