I try very hard to miss animals. I once swerved to avoid a raccoon on a highway off-ramp in a Fiero, then it did a 180 and ran back towards me, and I then had to swerve back to avoid it.
I also once had to stop for a 7-pt buck on a military base in a Miata. He just stood and stared, like "what's that little thing gonna do to me?"
And I once screeched to a halt in front of a flock of birds that were picking at garbage in the road. I crept up, I assumed they'd all flown away, so after a minute I accelerated, and *bump* added feathers to my grill.
