Managed to miss all but one, didn't see it until too late.

Haha I always try to miss snakes when I'm driving much to my wife's dismay. Most rattlesnakes in N.D. are west of the Missouri River I live in the east. I know of guys that have hit deer on motorcycle and bear in other states, does that happen with bicycles? Or other critters?
