We Need a Suicide Hotline for Deer

[RJM62]

What is it that compels deer to run into the paths of moving vehicles? Are they stupid? Depressed? Looking for the insurance angle?

This one got up and ran off into the woods. I don't know how badly he was injured. Damage to the car was minor, all things considered. (Hey Mike, do you have one of these?)

Years ago I had a deer run into the side of my car. No damage to the front of the car at all - he killed himself running into the side. It was either suicide, he needed glasses, or a case of "controlled flight into terrain vehicle."
