Front tire is not quite planted, and the deer isn't all the way against him yet. The next few milliseconds will be ugly. I hope that's a low speed collision.

The other day, almost home, and a red tail hawk swoops low, just above and in front, I was getting a good look at the shape and colors, how it used its tail, and then the blasted thing does a quick turn, drops a few feet and I had to duck.. why, ill never know,
I hope if I'm ever about to get a body check from a deer I have time to just let go and roll off... I mean, I know I'm Getting off,, why wait?
Why get knocked off?

I had the exact same experience last Saturday (different bird). There were 4 eagles (not sure, they weren't vultures and they were waaay bigger than hawks) feeding on some roadkill. As I got closer, 3 of them (the smart ones) flew off. Number 4 decided to fly 5' off the ground and right off my handlebars. We "rode" together for 20 seconds or so. It was a beautiful bird!

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!
