I have to drive on the Taconic Parkway (http://www.nycroads.com/roads/taconic/) twice a day. There are more days than not that I see deer wandering around everywhere. They graze in the medians, on the side of the road, in the woods, wander out into the road... I killed a squirrel a few weeks ago when it darted out into traffic and I was lodged between a guard rail and another car - nothing I could do. It's like a road plunked itself down inside some thick, heavy woods. Terrifying when they walk around, and I don't want to hurt them - or for them to hurt me. It's also deer hunting season here, so I'm seeing a curious number of hunters walking around - and deer wandering out of the woods.
