@johnbishop I qualify for senior hours, also, but since the closest Costco is an hour away, I wait for regular hours. I do not trust the wildlife around here to stay outta my way that early in the morning. We have a resident herd of about 7 deer who wander, and will simply stand in the road while we wait for them to move. Out on the interstate, where I have to go to get to the store, there are no fences in most parts, Deer and elk are often seen on the roadside, hit. Don't need that in my life. One deer hit about 18 years ago was enough.

Ginger @gingerw -- I hate deer encounters too 🙂 Two deer strikes is enough for me 🙂 One late evening encounter with an old 85 Chevy where the deer only broke the left front headlight and damaged the trim on the headlight but then got up off the road and ran away from a 35 mph collision. The second was with a month old 2013 Ford CMax when I hit a deer just after crossing over the bridge at the south entrance to town and doing a whopping 20 mph. Damaged didn't look that bad but was over $3,000... and the deer turned and looked at me and ran away.
