As am I, reading this thread.

I've been riding (again) just the last couple years. Maybe 800 outside miles... so far.
Fawns I've seen maybe five times while riding my bike, country roads mostly save the one on our local MUP.
They all spooked, ran off.
I think four squirrels in all. All looking injured, not particularly 'squirrely'
Several cats, moving speedily enough not to present a hazard.
Been chased by two (at the same time) loud, aggressive farm dogs.
One box turtle.
Wouldn't want to hit a goose....
