My coop under construction

When can I move in?

Deer and cars don't mix, had plenty of my own close calls with them bolting out in front of me and keep a keen eye out for them, as they are everywhere up by me... Actually did contact one when I was younger, bolted in front of me, slammed on the brakes and it was enough to miss the dear, that was until it decided to pull a 180° and put itself right back in front of me... Just a little bump at that point but enough to take out the front grill of the car...

Last time I was visiting my father in law in Arkansas I asked him how the doors and read quarter panel of his car got all dented up on one side, he said a herd of deer just T-Boned the car one night, no damage to the cars front fender or front end, just from the door back where apparently multiple deer just bounced off the car when he was driving down the road...

When I was a teen, barely after getting my drivers permit, we took a trip to visit some family in Kansas. On the way home, my dad was exhausted and was having trouble keeping his eyes open on the long stretch of highway. I persuaded him to let me drive so he could rest. I was a good driver so it wasn't a concern to him but the one piece of advice he gave me that night, before turning over the wheel, was about deer. He said if I saw a deer on the road, not to swerve to try to miss it. Because they are unpredictable, hey could leap I to your new path anyway and it was better to have a good grip on the steering wheel and hit it straight on, bracing yourself, rather than get caught mid swerve which would likely cause the car to flip.

Fortunately, we never had an incident like that. But that always stuck with me.

I would be the one swerving for a little song bird I just took a butterfly from my cat so he wouldn't kill it

your Dad gave you excellent advice.

This is essentially what race car drivers do when there is an accident on the track for the same reasons, they pick a lane, brace for impact and hope for the best...

My girls live on a river bank. Predators abound but they aren't worried, they have "Ava the Brave", their very own gaurd schnauzer!
