Deer Strike

....other than the apparent inability to judge speed and/or closure rate
on vehicles moving at those speeds. Or perhaps many deer just have poor
vision across the board. I don't know. But I have observed, and asked,
and received what seemed a plausible explanation from a person who had
studied wildlife, so I accept that until confirmed information comes my
way. Do you have any of that confirmed information, Jose? If not, then
you're no better off than I am, are you?
I do know deer have a 'rods and cones' thing going on in their eyes. Nature
sacrificed some depth perception so it could bulk up on movement receptors.
The resulting depth perception /issue/ makes avoiding oncoming motorcycles
difficult for Bambi.
