080817 More Deer

Almost two years to the day after my deer strike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_8Zi2g8sIg), the deer came out to challenge me again. This time I came away from the encounter without incident during taxi, but I did wonder if it was an omen I should heed.

I decided to do my run-up and make the call then and it turned out the deer retreated to the grass on the west side of the field where they would not be a factor for my takeoff. They were the last wildlife I saw for the night.
