I see about 10-20 deer every night on my way home from work. I don’t know where evolution went wrong, but....
These stupid fuckers don’t know what to do when a car comes speeding towards them! Don’t stare at me you stupid fuck! Get Out Of The Way! You dumb fuck! I had a deer running down the right side of the road for about a mile (a couple weeks ago) he kept juking left and right, but never picked a fucking direction. That stupid fucker ran in front of my car for way too fucking long. I don’t try to pass these idiots. They’ll slam into the side of your ride, cause they’re fuckin stupid. Every night on my drive home, I’ll come up on a pack of idiots... They never have a clue what to do when a car appears. You’ve seen a fucking car before, you stupid fuck! Get out of the damn way!
Sorry for the language, but it had to be said.
Stupid fucking deer!

Stupid until you’re freezing your butt off in a Tree waiting for one to wander past. Then they’re the smartest @#!+¢% animals on the planet.

I have a tendency to lay on the horn at them. Freak them out more in hopes they get away from it

deer have excellent night vision. unfortunately that means they have lots of ‘cone” receptors that take a while to switch over to the “rod” style used in daylight. Thus even when a car is far away, the deer is practically blinded. imagine waking up a night on an operating table.

There is a “Deer Advocate” group in my small suburban town that started up after our city decided to do a “Culling” of deer via trapping them in cages and then shooting a bolt through their head like you’d do with a cow. Those people are nutso. lol. They protest in front of city hall and everything.

Poor little buggers aren’t equipped to deal with our world. Their eyes are calibrated for the dark and we come rolling along with a million candlepower, blinding them. They can’t turn away from the light because their eyes are on the sides of their heads, giving them about 310° of vision (compared to our paltry 180° of vision). They have a hell of a time determining depth since their vision overlap is only about 60° directly in front of them. Close one of your eyes and try to jump over a fence and you’ll understand why depth perception is important.
Our cars are like giant noisy predators. Their primary defense is running away. If they can’t see well because of the lights, about the only thing they can do is keep running in the area that is lit - the road or the ditch. Everything else is effectively blacked out. Want to know what it feels like? Blind yourself with a flashlight then go for a run in the ditch in the dark.
I say all this because I have some sympathy for their plight and I understand the challenges they face due to their anatomy. I’ve lived in deer country most of my life and haven’t hit one yet (knock on wood). I’ve had a couple of close calls, but knowing how they are likely to react helped me to anticipate their reaction (it seems like you have this part down).
It would help a lot if we did more to control their population. Many people have just lost their taste for deer meat and that silly Disney movie didn’t help. They are just giant rats with hooves.

If I see them ahead of time, I like to rev the engine at them. I want them to fear engine noise like it’s the roar of a predator.

Interesting how cars are a total overload for then, but I’ve never been within 50 feet of one on my mountain bike.

How often are you riding with bright lights at night?

Exactly. A little hub and tire noise moving quick through the woods is enough for them to GTFO. They’re not dumb as much as they are ill equipped, just as you explained.
Now wild turkeys on the other hand...
