I find the same thing because I ride quiet back roads. I never know when a doe is going to dart out of the bush in front of me. Never seen a buck so far, thank goodness. But had a tiny fawn run along side of me until it though better and ducked into the bush. I don't understand why they don't just stay hidden in the bush. Why cross the road in front of something you are afraid of?
There is something about motorcycles that scares them across the road. I saw one half a mile away deep in a farm field. She ran all the way to the road and jumped a fence to pass in front of me. Because I saw her coming I was able to slow down to miss her.
I have also had a black bear and young moose cross the road in front of me. The worst are the wild turkeys because the stay on the road and don't move.
Then there are the suicidal chipmunks and red squirrels. I don't know whether their hearing is bad, or they just like the game of passing as close to my front wheel as possible.
Motorcycling is an adventure!
