10/25/08 White NA in center median of 85 appx @ mile marker 117, Clipped a deer

[ben91]

Looked like a white NA with wheels (maybe chaparrals) and a roll bar. Hard to tell though since it was night and I was traveling at high speed. Sitting in the I-85 median facing north, north of the Mall of GA exit a little after 9PM. I saw the dead deer in the middle of the north bound left lane. I was traveling south and due to the new median barrier system, I was unable to pull over to render any needed assistance. I did take the MoG exit to turn around, but I was passed by 2 police cars who I'm pretty sure were responding to the scene.

Hope you're ok.

No good. Britt got t-boned by a deer in her '00. It tore her car up pretty badly.
Hope they were ok.

I've been seeing a lot of armadillos lately. I hate those just as much as deer.

That's really weird! They're not usually spotted this far south!
I had 6 deer in my front yard this morning when I left for work. They just stood there and watched me get in my car and leave. Bastards are lucky I don't like venison that much.

Yeah, it scared the **** out of me! It was on Fischer Rd. right before you go up that hill before you get to 34.
Deer are probably my least favorite animal.. I hate them so much!!

Nope! Definitely a bobcat! It was twice the size of a normal cat with a short stubby tail. After it jumped in front of me, I stopped and it walked parallel to the street for a while so I got a pretty good look at it!
