Well this hound now has a few more strands of grey in his muzzle, the other day I was at the airport flying my trike and ALMOST hit a deer on takeoff. My habit of having a little extra speed before liftoff saved my tail this time because a deer bounded out in front of me out of nowhere and turned towards me and I slammed the control bar full forward in an attempt to leap over the deer (was going too fast to steer around) and ended up in a REAL steep climb at a high angle of attack heading for a whip stall. I feel that the extra speed gave me just enough time to get the bar pulled back and flatten out to regain airspeed WHEW. Anyway to make a long story short I continued to climb to pattern height to gain my whits and asses the situation and land just in case there was any type of damage since I had a weird vibration and was worried that the prop might have gotten a piece of the ground or Deer for that matter which thankfully turned out to be just a hung float in one of the Carburetors. I'm still going through the wing making sure it wasn't overstressed. The guys that saw the indecent said if i was in any other aircraft there would of been a crash and I believe it. So any fur that flies, keep an eye out for them deer I know I will for now on. (Axle)
