Strange deer encounter
 

Tonight as I crested a hill 2 deer crossed right in front of me and bounded the fence at the side of the road. Both caught the barb wire and much hair came off them(maybe they are losing their winter coats) and suddenly I was riding through a cloud of hair. I don't mean just a little hair , but more like being in snow globe. Short hair and long hair. Somehow this seemed almost magical as compared to most of my animal encounters. Maybe I'm making more of it than I should , but it was something I won't soon forget.

Yuck, do you know where that deer has been? Cycling through a hair filled snow globe doesn't sound too magical to me. To each his own.

did you cough up a fur ball?

Hope you didn't try to catch any on your tongue. Deer hair is not as good as snowflakes for that.

No, it doesn't! LOL

One man's epiphanous encounter with nature is another man's retching disgust, apparently.

i feel at one with nature when i ride through a swarm of insects.

Hey Frisky, appropriate choice of names for someone who likes to ride through a cloud of doe fur. I'm sure it was one you had to be there to appreciate.

have fun with that chronic wasting disease...

You might want to check yourself for ticks. Seriously.

venison not fur. you're doing it wrong.

like a nervous tick?

clorox.

you should have been off your bike and taken down atleast one of them. Its great protein

While commuting to work in the winter here in Minnesota I had a stupid buck in rut get mad at me and snort and stomp his hoofs at me one night while riding home on the trail. Scared the crap out of me, as I couldn't speed away from a pack of banana slugs on my 1991 Diamondback Ascent mountain bike converted to a single-speed with studded tires on it.

Made me glad I shot his cousin during deer season a month or so earlier......
