The unknown reason was likely avoiding a collision with deer. Shortly after noon Friday two of them wandered across Wilkinson very near Lear, I saw them from a distance and slowed down as they strolled across the road heading west. They were both about 10 feet past the west shoulder when I went by them and didn't even pick their heads up when I blew the horn, they just wiggled their ears and kept on grazing.
