I've had two run into the side of my car over the years. One bounced off the rear quarter-panel, the other dented the front fender. I've never had even a close call while riding motorcycles. I've been lucky.I've got a friend who has hit two, on two different motorcycles, in two different states, one "high risk", the other "highest risk". He hasn't been so lucky.

Deer teleport onto highways. I swear they use ESP skills to commit suicide.

The jumpy critters to watch for in the islands are cyclists.
To whit, Grey Forester Kangaroos.
Mobs of them graze all around where we live.
They are prone to jumping out in front of vehicles.
Roughly the same size as deer, and a similar ecological niche.
IMO even cuter looking, than deer.
Leaving home, and returning, we just do keep a look out, particularly at night as they graze then as well, often coming into the urban areas to graze on lawns, and on the wide green grassed strip down the middle of the estate.
It's a constant issue, so we drive real slow at night and slow in daylight.

Are you allowed to hunt them? What is the taste like?
Bill
Here in Canberra they are being culled regularly.
They are doing very well on what we have done to the land over the last 230 years.
I ate some kangaroo a very long time ago. It tastes like very lean but tender Beef, and a teeny bit gamey.
Hunting is restricted in the Australian Capital Territory, as it is mostly nature reserves, National Parks, and farms. Lots of town centres and roads, including freeways.
IIRC!!! hunting is possible on some farms with the farmer's knowledgeable permission. Short range firearms only.
I haven't hunted for a very long time, and almost always outside the ACT.

Because they're so tall, they usually come over the hood and through the windshield.
Deer are so fast, they hit you or commit suicide in front of you...
What are the odds?
