Dumb luck: Back roads and deer
Last night I came around a tight right hander on a back road going too fast and to my surprise, three freakin deer are in my lane and on the shoulder.
One darts in front of me, I locked up and missed it but less than a foot. It wiped the road grime off the drivers side of my front bumper. Another, on the shoulder, turned and bounced off my right rear door and quarter panel. It's snout and shoulder wiped the road grime off as well, from the front of the door back to above the wheel well. Looks like there might be a slight, slight, slight dent in the door, but nothing immediately noticable.
It's snowing, otherwise I'd take a pic to post up. Dumb luck... a couple MPH faster, or a couple inches to the left and they could have caused a lot of damage.

About 15 years ago my girlfriend (wife now) and I were driving down a back road. She had just lit a cig and dropped it, dunno why, I ducked down to grab it.
When I looked back up there were 3 deer right in front of me.
I started bobbing and weaving with her screaming.
Missed every one.
Wife just said "Holy ****, how did you do that?"
I just said "No idea."
One other time was driving along at night. Had my little brother in the back seat. I heard a loud bang and my brother yelped. I asked what happened and he said a deer flew out of the woods and smashed its face up against his window. lol. there was deer drool all over the window.
I've had good luck so far. Glad you did as well.
