Deer!

Last night Derrick and I were driving home and right when we were about halfway through our complex I noticed a large dog standing by the side of the road. I was thinking to myself, "Wow, what a large Great Dane. I wonder where the owner is." I was about to drive past it when Derrick yelled out, "Deer!" I hit my breaks just in time. Three large deer ran across the road right in front of our car and onto the grass on the other side of the road. Then one of the deer, I'm guessing it was the male, just stood there and stared at us like he was challenging us to a fight. I drove away. I've noticed deer in the field across the street from our apartment complex before, but I never thought they would actually walk around the apartments themselves. Now whenever I drive through the complex at night I pay extra attention. The last thing I want to do is kill a deer, especially in the middle of my new apartment complex. Not a great way to meet your neighbors.

And when you hit a deer with your car both the car and the deer lose!
