Rutting has very little to do with deer and automobiles. "Headlights" are the cause of automobile/deer unintentional interfaces. Its common for a deer to freeze staring into the oncoming headlights. Often the deer is on the side of the road, freezes, doesn't panic until the automobile is very close. Then jumps in front of the automobile. Lets cure this problem once and for all, lets outlaw headlights. "the deer, a relatively small animal" Hah! You've never seen a typical Detroit-built American Land Barge totaled by one little deer? One little deer can easily destroy the bumper, headlights, grill, hood, fender and windshield. If the roof line gets bent too, the vehicle is usually totaled. There is probably not a single Wal-Mart or K-Mart in the continental US that doesn't sell "deer whistles" to be mounted on your front bumper. The theory is a deer will run from the right high pitched whistle as some vehicles were observed to be hit by deer very rarely, and guessed this was due to their sound. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
