I hit a deer with a BMW my first week with my license. It's an absolutely terrifying experience that will always stick with me. Im still skiddish about driving on dark, rural (deserted) roads. I will drive with as many lights on as possible and i keep track of whats on the side of the road as I drive. Hitting a deer scarred me for life.

As much as we re on the I 15 corridor, between St George and SLC, Im more concerned about nailing one with the front of the MH.
That wont be a pretty pic being as its all fiberglass.
