. No worries, the deer, the driver and the ATV are all fine.I was on a narrow forest trail when a doe stepped out right in front of my bike; I mean she could not have been any closer! If not for the fact that my hands were busy applying the brakes, I could have reach over the handlebars and patted the doe on the head
! Fortunately I was going slow on account of the rough trail and I was pulling a trailer. Although I sort of T-boned the deer, it was more of a nudge than an impact and the doe trotted off. BTW, 2 nights earlier I was held up on the same stretch of trail by a 2 1/2 year old bull moose that was walking in front of me. I must of followed that moose for 200 yards before he found his exit. There's never a passing lane when you need one!
