Go back to the North Pole Dasher and Dancer!

So the other night I'm driving along. It's about 10 pm and I'm driving down this stretch of road that is in a some what woodsy area. On this stretch of road there is a deer crossing sign posted. I have to say I've seen those signs often enough on roads but never have really seen deer crossing the road. Anyway, I see this sign and sure enough 2.7 seconds later I see a flippin deer walking across the road. There's a car coming towards me in the other lane so I can't swerve to avoid it. I SLAM my brakes on instead. My anti-lock breaks kick in and I seriously think I was inches away from hitting it. Everyting in my car goes flying forward (including me). The entire contents of my pursue spilled everywhere. This experience was really, really scary! My body had all these reactions!

Flash forward 2 days...I'm driving again around 5 in the morning. Same stretch of road and there's another deer just chilling in the road. But this time I was prepared. I was taking precaution and driving under the speed limit, scanning for deer. This time I just had to come to a stop and beep my horn at the deer to get out of the road. It still scared me though.

So I tell my dad about these two instances and he tells me that deer hunting season is starting next week. "Aha" i say, "that explains why I saw these deer and 6 dead deer on the side of the road driving down here today". I'm a little dissapointed in myself that I didn't know deer hunting season starts any day now. I mean, I watch the outdoor network like everyday. I don't even like hunting or fishing but something about that channel draws me in, I'll admit it. (Maybe If i had cable I'd watch something other than QVC and the Outdoor Network). I've learned a thing or two about hunting and fishing (and the Jack Lelane Juicer but that's from watching QVC).

The only deer I want to see this season is Rudolph, when the 1964 Christmas classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is on tv!
