Deer are the problem here. Have had many near misses when deer have run across the road in front of my car. Actually had a deer run into the passenger side of my one week old car while driving 60 mph on a major highway at 4 AM while on the way to go Albacore fishing. It was too dark to see what damage had occurred so continued on and went fishing. The early start was because we went offshore about 45 miles. Fishing was great, and when I got back to my car I found there were no dents and the only damage was some "rub" marks due to the coarse quality of deer hair. The deer also seemed to be no worse off as it immediately ran back off the road.
On the Navajo reservation horses would stand on the paved road at night - to enjoy the heat that had accumulated on the road during the day - and graze on the grass on the unpaved edge. Coming around curves and suddenly seeing a horse in your headlights was cause for a change of underwear! Also, my sister totalled her Volvo on a country road, and the cow she hit fared no better. The farmer appeared immediately, butchered the animal on the road and took the meat home, and sent my sister a bill for destroying the cow he ate for the next several months.
WE face heavy fines for allowing stock on the road.
Cow.....Ooch!

Albacore, come to within a mile or two of our SE Coast living in vast "pools" of warm water that move around that area in spring and summer. We chase them mostly on 12lb line as few we see exceed 65lb with the odd one to 75lb most run between 20 -30lb. A real fun fish and excellent tucker........their flesh smokes real well ( for @The Hat.... we use large sheets of butchers paper to roll them in ...Ciggie papers are far too small time for us
