Over the years we have spent a lot of time driving in Western Canada and also Northwestern Ontario. Late at night, my wife scans both sides of the road, while I do the driving. In some areas deer or the occasional moose (you don't want to collide with a Bull Moose) can be dangerous. So unpredictable...one second on the side of the road..the next moment running in front of your vehicle. Really impossible to avoid when they sprint across the road.
Late August of this year we were making a run to Alberta and I heard my wife say..'Pronghorn'...I looked to both sides of the road (Trans Canada Highway) looking for herds. My wife than said...'center of the road'...which had a green verge ...lots of grass and some wildflowers...there it was...we're 50 feet away from it and it was right on the edge of the road, next to my lane...I was able to slow down to about 30 mph and the head and horns of the Pronghorn was about a foot from the doors of my car. I could of reached out and touched him...which would of been...real dumb on my part. :D
Fortunately he was contently grazing some grass and didn't even look up. I have read that the Pronghorn is the second fastest land animal in the world...Cheetah being the fastest. Apparently the Pronghorn can accelerate incredibly quickly..so I think Lady Luck was smiling at me that evening. :B
You're a lucky man...could of been worse for you...personal injury, Glad you're ok.
