Would’ve cleared it, methinks. Dumb deer…
Where I live there’s a moose crossing every few miles.
Moose don’t jump.
They don’t have to.
Actually, I think the deer was a little behind the motorcycle but it’s still cool.
Look at the shadow of the deer…
Being a biker in Open Range area of Colorado, I have a close encounter at least once a week. Yesterday it was lama that had gotten loose, 2 weeks ago a black bear. Just a matter of time methinks………
4. I did… And he is right.
Years ago I was driving in the mountains near Boise, much like the pix above, and I could see a deer in the trees way off to the right side that suddenly took off in the same direction and it just kept running closer and closer until it bumped off the front right corner of the car. Maybe it was dusky & I had my headlights on? Weird experience.

Spectacular that particular footage may be, it is extremely dangerous. I have a good friend whos father was killed 5-6 years ago when his motorcycle was struck by a deer. I believe it was around the North Georgia/South Carolina border area.
5. Watch closely the biker actually ducks. Couldve been kicked in the head, so wearing a helmet helps.
I dont know, seems like a fake to me.
Yeah, in the last couple of frames, it looks like he ducks to the right.
BAMBI!
Oh, boy, here come the deer stories.
I remember my mother freaking out when a good 8 point buck decided to cross the road (a rather busy road at that). He jumped right over the windshield. We got three hoof prints (driver’s door, middle of windshield which he really just grazed, passenger’s fender) and a broken antenna for that. He was fine after that.
And my personal close encounter was running outside of the city in the middle lane of three lane interstate. It’s late, I’m tired, and as I drive I see four lights, two on each side and after rapidly splitting them apart, I realized that I had just missed two of them standing in the other lanes, and I split them.
Oh, the Black Hills of South Dakota… The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is afoot. My mom was born in Sturgis, and we still have family in the “tri-city area” of Belle Fourche (sp?), Sturgis, and Spearfish. I visited a few years ago, and enjoyed the weather, the people, the food, it was all good – of course, it wasn’t bike week.
#5 The deer starts its jump when the bike is still level with it. As the bike moves on the deer passes behind the rider.
#2 – yeah I’ve seen what happens to stuff that runs into moose (meese? mooses? moosi?) – there was this guy who was driving a *really* low suspension storts car w/ no top & ran into a moose… and he got decapitated – the moose broke a rib.
that video was freakin badass!!
My van was hit by 4 deer last year. Actually, I hit the first one on the arse, and the remaining 3 hit the side of my car. Shattered 2 windows and left a headprint on one of the pillars.
I hate friggin deer.
16. Except in a good wine sauce, maybe.
#17, naw, slow roast ’em over a spit.
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaake.
#13 – That was my thought. That looks like Spearfish Canyon. the actual rally was a couple of weeks ago though.
#15 – tallwookie,
Moose grammar is easy. You just use the word “moose” for everything, just like “deer”.
You’re right. Running into a moose is like running into a really big pickup truck. Sometimes, not even the drivers of big rig transport trucks are safe.
To make matters worse, at certain times of the year moose get into a really bad mood and initiate contact on purpose.
Deer, on the other hand, are mostly pussies.
Those deer are pussies! Around here, the deer actually RUN INTO cars. I know, because one ran into my car once.
Give that deer at basketball and watch him do a reverse tomahawk dunk from the free-throw line.
Yes, it probably is fake. Check this closeup out… there is no shadow under the deer:
I happen to have my own deer story but it’s too long for here. Go to here for it: http://www.jimforeman.com/Stories/hunting.htm

I have gone through this frame by frame and unless that deer is a vampire……. this is an extremely well done fake!
Also, note that the biker never touches his brakes with pleanty of time to react to the oncomming dseer.
Oh man, that’s pretty amazing.
it’s not a fake that one segment doesn’t have a shadow because of the stronger presence of sunlight in the middle of the road watch the prior scenes leading up to that
