On my way in to the office this morning I hit a small [maybe 3 foot tall] deer.
I live in Ramona and drive Wildcat Canyon to get to the 67 each morning. I was following 2 other bigger vehicles [F150 size trucks] with maybe 4 or 5 car lengths between us. Just before we got to the Tribal Enforcement buildings [at about 445] this young deer stepped out in front of me. Knowing that I would be royally screwed if I hit it in my Honda Fit I swerved to avoid it, but could not react fast enough. I ended up clipping it with my passenger side mirror. I immediately stopped and looked back in the road expecting to see it laying there. But with "luck" there was nothing in the road. I then turn my attention to my car to check for serious damage [and blood] only to find a broke mirror and nothing more. I then jumped back in my car and slowly drove back toward the impact site looking for any sign of the deer, but found nothing.
