I see deer a lot on my night training rides. It's very exciting to be rocketing downhill 33mph in the dark then come around a curve and realize several deer are about to saunter across the road in front. I keep thinking "somebody's gonna have chili for dinner", but don't know if it's going to be venison chili or cyclist chili. Maybe both.

The deer eyes reflect back blue in my bike headlights, it is a eerie look.

In the area there are lots of raccoons, opossums, skunks, armadillos, loose dogs; a few coyotes, bobcats; and lots of big vultures. The vultures are big ugly birds and very creepy when they circle over me while I ride.
