    I can't say that I have seen any deer along I-10 and I have been traveling between Kenner and B.R. everyday for the past 4 years, Now I see Gator, Raccoons, Armadillo and Opossum at least a couple time a week.

    You travel there everyday. If you traveled there every night, you would see them. Take it form a nightshift worker. Big reason why I won't ride my bike to work. In fact I saw a dead one this morning eastbound by grosse tete . But the one I hit this year was in Denham on 16 south of 12 by the dollar general!

    Yep!

    I remember the first time I saw deer on that stretch. It was June 27, 1979 and I was on my way to the Yes "In the Round" concert at the then, Riverside Centroplex. My mom let me borrow her car and as me and my drunken buddy's passed the power line right before the Sorrento Exit, I saw 3 standing on the outside of the fence. At first I wasn't sure if I saw what I saw, but was already hooked on everything deer back then, so my eyes were always looking.

    The concert was awesome too! :rockon:

    Here is a sample from that particular tour: https://youtu.be/wX92QyXGdTE

    I see them as I drive through around 10:00p.m. On my way home around 7:30 a.m., if I see one it is dead. And that is very rare, I think they are pretty good about not getting hit on that freeway.
