Here they are small creatures, barely a handful. In Ontario they are the size of a medium sized dog with short legs. They are prone to run under things, and go squish, leading to unpredictable results for the squisher.Keith Cartmellhttp://keithsodyssey.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-59776372541373550782012-03-29T08:24:07.549-06:002012-03-29T08:24:07.549-06:00I'm with Shannon here --- I even read a blog p...I'm with Shannon here --- I even read a blog post by some guy who hit a gopher...maybe it was a squirrel. The little thing darted in front of him, *got tangled in his spokes* then emerged, took a few steps and died. Gad. I've had a couple of close calls and I tense up when I see one standing on the shoulder checking out the scene.<br /><br />And like you, I've had to avoid deer. Last year, at Beaver Mines, I had a very near miss with 3. Holy shit my heart was pounding so hard I was shaking. At the Calgary 70.3 one year, I had to swerve to avoid a coyote -- again, a "HOLY SHIT" moment! It looked at me, I looked at it and the moment passed. lmao!Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-32056640504948896902012-03-28T21:52:42.118-06:002012-03-28T21:52:42.118-06:00Yay for a good run!

I've had to dodge mountain goats, and deer of some description (big and brown going kaboing was all I had time for) and a huge skunk. <br /><br />Just remember you are at the top of the food chain. Project that with all your might, and hope that some 4 pawed cougar isn't moving so fast after you they don't get the message. You're on your own with the 2 booted version of cougars, but I don't think there are many of them on the trail.Keith Cartmellhttp://keithsodyssey.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368504086012529655.post-67140842555318701122012-03-28T15:11:37.930-06:002012-03-28T15:11:37.930-06:00Those gophers would freak me out at a certain poin...Those gophers would freak me out at a certain point during the summer - when you are cruising down the highway at 30+ km/hr on your bike and they are crossing right in front of you. Thankfully I won't have that problem this year - instead I have to worry about being part of the food-chain every time I step on mountain trail this summer. Ah, the cycle of life.Shannonnoreply@blogger.com
