My biggest scare

January 4th, about 0730. Rt. 52 in North Dakota. Cruising at about 100mph. I Crest a small hill and on the other side about 100 feet up are deer. Not just 2 or 3.. but about 15. They were on both sides of the road, and in the breakdown lanes.. with two large males looking across at each other. My heart comes to a complete stop... I mash on the brake pedal and start yelling "Deer!, Deer!, Deer!". Not sure why i did that.. I was the only one in the car. Trying to slow down my brain remembers that the deer will freeze (Sometimes) when the horn is honked. So I hold the horn buttons down and cruise between the two males doing about 60. The deer didnt move (Thank the lord). Heart started beeting again when I saw the deer in my rearview mirror, still on the side of the road, staring at my SVX as I pulled farther away. I wish I could have read there minds. Probably would have been "What kind of car is that?"

Chris.
