OMG not in a million years! We have had deer run across trails maybe a couple hundred feet away from us and I once had a racoon run across a trail in front of me but that kind of rider interruptus can get a person killed.
There used to be a steady stream of reports of deer running across roads and causing motorcycle crashes in IL where the rider didn't walk away.
Our timber is so overgrown right now that we are bumping deer when we are just walking our trails. About 5 days after I had my surgery, our neighbor called and asked me if we knew that there was a truck that had hit a tree near our pond. Uhhhh no we didn't. DH walked down and sure enough almost new pick up truck with the front end wrapped around one of our trees. You could see where he had ran off the road, jumped the ditch and said howdy to a dead oak tree. No sign of the driver. He showed up while the sheriff was there. Seems like he had dodged a deer in the road lost control and went airborne. Guy was lucky he wasn't killed. As it was he was in a mess of trouble with the Po Po for leaving the scene of an accident.
To the kids credit, he came back and repaired our fence where he had broke through. Deer are a menace. Now they had a black bear hit by a car about 3 miles from us. We have cougars and it's just a matter of time before the elk start roaming northwards.
