    We'll every day to and from work I catch my self looking off in every section of woods and field mire then I do looking at the road. I'm always trying to spot just that one deer. Lets hope one day it don't cause me to get in a accident. Today I was able to spot a couple doe's an then a pretty big tree just shredded from a buck. Who else catches them self doing this and has any got into a acceident because of it?

    Yeah I do it. Probably saw 20 deer in fields on the way home from work tonight. Almost got a really close look at a small doe when she stepped out into the road. The wife yells at me for looking.

    I can tell you that I am way more dangerous looking for deer in the fields than texting while driving. It's bad and I have to stop myself.

    I do it all the time too! Theres a couple spots on my way to work that I actually slow down so I don't hit one because I see deer cross there all the time.

    I'm also guilty of this big time. Even when its pitch black dark and I know I can't see more than 10 yards off the road I'm still steady trying to see em. Lol.

    haha ya you turn your brights on when no ones around just trying to get that extra lil bit of visibility to see if mayb u can catch some eyes or something.

    i also think i am probably more dangerous while trying to look for deer then i am texting and driving. I have had a couple sketchy times where i have had to slam on the brakes before i rearf end someone in traffic.

    haha ya its crazy what a deer can make you do, you just have to know where the line is and not to cross it.

    and im sure every one that has posted knows that if it was in that great of danger they would know not to do it. Im sure everything is a lil over exaggerated than what it truly was. no life's where probably in great danger in any of this.

    I was more so laughing at the similarities. Not at that fact that someone could be hurt or worse. Guess is kinda worded that way when I read it again. My fault. :(
