Deer Collision 09/17/07

Went for a ride today. My biggest fear becam a reality on SR188 at mile marker 252 near Roosevelt Lake. I saw the deer about a milisecond before impact. After a violent wobble I realized I was still upright so I slowed and pulled over. I was going between 55 and 60 when we met. After getting my witts back about me I turned around to go take some pictures.
The Doe didn't survive but I did. The crash bars are tweaked way to the right side but I think everything else came through unscathed.
Not something I want to do again anytime soon......
