I came close back in 2013 while touring across Pennsylvania. I, too, was descending rather fast. There were woods/bushes to my right. I said out loud to myself "Stay frosty. You never know what might come out of the woods." I kid you not that about 3 seconds later a deer came bounding out of the bushes and ran in front of me. I missed him by about 15'. Reinforced my belief that there is some sort of ESP or something that we just have not harnessed yet. Also scared the crap out of me.
