That's why I am 2-0. I didn't have time to react either time.
First time was a doe that came out of the woods on my left. I saw it just before it ran into my leg and pounded it into the tank. She went down, I kept going. By the time I got stopped and turned around, she was getting up shaking her head. I headed back, she took off into the woods.
Second time, a fawn came out of a ditch on my right. I had just enough time to think "Don't do anything". Hit it right in the middle, knocked it down, ran it over. Got turned around. The poor thing was just lying there.. barely breathing. I picked it up to take it to some shade. Died before I got there. It was .. sad. :'(
I was amazed at how light it was for it's size.
