Deer do not have any depth perception but that air horn really gets them moving.
On another note, you have no class hitting a deer, I at least got a bull elk!
OVER ACHIEVER !
I hit my first deer about 5 weeks ago. Three of them in fact. Came over a small rise on I80 in Iowa, and there they were, about 300 ft directly in front of me. Two appeared to be kneeling(!). They tried to get out of the way, but didn't succeed.
I braked, but stayed in the lane. Sickening crunch, but surprisingly little damage to the truck. Took away the front bumper plastics and the anti-collision radar. Fortunately, the radiator was spared.
Still a sad event. One of our career choice negatives.
