The following is my best non-hunting deer story. I don't know where in Jersey you live, but I was driving down Inman Ave in Rahway about 10 years ago when I saw a deer off the side of the road about 4 or 5 car lengths ahead. (For everyone else, this is a mostly commercial road with a speed limit around 35 mph.) As the car in front of me is approaching the spot where the deer is standing, it suddenly takes off to cross the road. God as my witness, the damned thing leapt at the car in front of me, landed on the trunk (it was a mid-sized sedan), and spun through the air like an Olympic figure skater. It must have gotten a full 2 rotations before landing on its feet and continuing to stumble across the road. Its trajectory took it out of my direct line so I was in no danger of hitting it; but holy hell it was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. I wished I had a dashcam because it would have been amazing to show people.
