Is she fleeing from you BuckSkin? What preys on them? Do they appear as roadkill often? |

She's just putting some distance between us.
She appeared in the open so quickly and so very close that I had to unzoom my lens; it is a wonder that I got that first shot.
As for predators, they would probably run from a mouse; but, their only real danger around here is hunters and cars on the highway.
Like a squirrel, they will be plenty safe where they are, but have an urge to blast in front of fast-moving cars; most times they make it and sometimes they don't.
They cause their share of head-on collisions where two vehicles are meeting and one vehicle darts over into the oncoming vehicle instead of just holding steady and hitting the deer.
I may plaster one tonight; but, in all my years of over-the-road driving, the only deer I ever ran over was already dead, laying in the road just over a blind rise, and me meeting a string of cars in the dark with no safe way to avoid it. |

I appreciate your concern.
You know, now that I think about it, I cannot remember the last time I was even in a car --- yes, I do; it was about four years ago we drove Ernest's 1965 Impala 4-door hardtop on a road trip --- now that is a car.
You don't get the selection in vehicles now that you did back then; most don't even know what it means to be a hardtop.
In 1965, you could buy a new Impala convertible, 2-door post, 2-door hardtop, 4-door post, or 4-door hardtop, in a gazillion different versions of each.
