Hunters, no. But, hundreds of car, trucks, SUVs and Semis per hour. I think we need to genetically engineer deers that know to look before they cross the road.

I was riding my bicycle in the Colorado mountains a few years ago. I was descending a hill around a lake at about 30 - 40 mph. A deer jump across the road in front of me. It was so close I could hear it's hoofs click on the pavement and see it's eye looking at me. I'm just glad he didn't have any friends that followed him. Hitting a deer with a steel car wrapped around you is one thing. Hitting a deer with nothing but a piece of lyra on your butt is another. :scared
