Vehicles and Deer Don’t Mix

I heard a television advertisement one day that stated “that if you decide not to hit a deer you won’t”.  At the time I thought that it is really something that you don’t have much control over.  As I drove to McCall to visit my dad, the comment returned to my mind.  No, I didn’t have a close encounter with a deer or even seen any on the way, but my awareness level was up.  I am usually cautious when driving in deer country, but that ad gave me pause.  Because of it I was even more vigilant and I drove up the beautiful canyon watching for the slightest movement along the sides of the road.  I still believe that  a collision with deer cannot always be avoided, but vigilance on the part of the driver could  definitely reduce the chances of a collision.
