he had crossed in front of me left to right and stopped, so I grabbed my camera to take a pic. Just then he turned and ran along the weed line parallel to the road same direction I was going... then all of a sudden he swung left to come back across the road. We were nearly level when he turned and I snapped the pic and gassed it lol. 12:45 in the afternoon.

dang forest rats

Gotta watch for them “forest rats” ferret! (I believe that is what you called them in prior posts.)
Got that problem here too. I hit two deer within one year with my CR-V! That is why I never ride my motorcycles between dusk and dawn.

Stupid vermin.

Glad that wasn't "a close one" per se.
I've had 3-4 similar experiences when the deer didn't seem to know where it was going or wanting to go.
One was so close I knew I was a gonner - but it missed me by a hair. I still don't know how I escaped that one!

I also had two similar incidents with moose that were too close for comfort.
When you have an arms length encounter with a moose on a motorcycle you suddenly realize how big they really are.
Sure gets your heart pumping

Lots of deers and moose in NB and NS

If you were on the CB, it was the RLETs that saved you. If you were riding that other bike, I don’t know how you escaped.

it was the other bike Cormanus. 145 hp saved me this time lol. I sure didn't expect him to turn around and head back across the road (although this is not the first time that has happened but it's rare.)

Do Roos exhibit such non sense?

Doesn’t matter Ferret. Cormanus has RLETS!!!

The answer is that roos are totally unpredictable. You think you’re safe and they double back on you. Nasty critters near roads.
