Sorry to hear that Shelly feel for the deer but it is the damage they do to the car when you hit them and the shock of hitting them.

Sorry for the deer, and good there was no serious damages to the car (yours and the farmer's, behind you).
But it's still the shock!
As Frankie said we have not only deer but also wild porc and bears crossing roads; the bill for the driver (if he get out from the car in one piece, after the accident) is 2000 eur/ deer, 12000 eur/wild porc and 40000 eur/bear...and the average wedge is 350 eur/month!
So better drive carefully....

But your was much much worse than what happened to us @Jack Ratt

Here's the answer: (I had to look it up, as I didn't really know)
These small dumplings are one of the oldest preparations in the history of food, recorded as far back as the cookbooks of the thirteenth century. In a fragment of a book from the 1300s there is a recipe for gnocchi written in the Tuscan dialectal language (1).
“If you want gnocchi” reads the recipe, “take some cheese and mash it, then take some flour and mix it with egg yolks as if you are making dough. Place a pot of water over a fire. When it starts boiling, place the mixture on a board and slide it in the pot with a spoon. When they are cooked, place them on plates and top them with a lot of grated cheese.”

I was driving a motorcycle along a road the boarders the states of New York and Pennsylvania one night. On my left was a mountain and on my right was a guard rail, on the other side of which was a steep slope going down to the Delaware river. Remember now that we are driving on the right side of the road. The road was wet from dew. I was doing about 40 mph. Up ahead of me I see a deer next to the guardrail. The dear starts to cross the road in front of me, and does so, but stops on the center line of the street. I'm afraid the deer will change its mind and go back to the guard rail crossing my path again as they often do. I know if it does this, I'll hit it as I can't slam on the brakes as I'll slide on the wet roadway. I try to slow up as much as possible and still hold traction but I'm still going too fast as I come up to the deer. As I'm about to pass the deer, it begins to jump back into my lane. I can see it beginning to jump back in front of me and I know I'm as good as dead because I know my body can't take the impact of a 200 lb. deer. As the deer's rear legs begin to spring the deer forward into my path, its rear hooves slide on the wet road and cause its rear end to hit the ground and the deer is unable to jump in front of me and at that instant I drive past it. I couldn't believe it. I was a fraction of a second away from getting killed. I guess it wasn't my time to die. Frankie
What do they charge the drivers with @FRANKIE ?
And all that time the deer's thinking" oh no I'm going to die when I hit that 400 lb+ motorcycle with it's 150 lb rider." And then it loses traction and falls to it's knees with a thank you prayer to Mother Nature. Glad you both survived! JIM
I recommend it @Shelly! Joan's been making it for years. It's delicious. Try it for Duxford!! JIM
Oh noooooo shelly that's a shocker! I'd have been gutted. Both Jue and I are big animal lovers and am chuffed to bits when catch site of deer. *in fact 3 crossed my path this morning*. It's a bad time of year for them as it's mating season.
Always be aware that if you have 1 cross your path and clears you slow down because the chance is others will follow.

@Shelly Glad you are both ok. Sorry to hear about that deer though. Just to make you laugh.. @GazHyde nearly had a passenger in his Z3 when we were out with @Lee last year. The deer jumped the hedge and just stopped before ending up in his car. I could not stop laughing as Gary did an avoiding tactic.
Yeah, that was sooo close I could almost taste venison. Over the years badgers & pheasants have been the worst for me. Pheasants slept on the roads where I used to live, so leaving early in the morning you would come round a bend and find maybe a dozen dotted around. Not sure if this is standard behavior for pheasants or not, but it was incredibly messy...
