couple weeks ago I had an experience with a deer in the road. Night time and I saw ahead traffic stopped on a bridge. Got closer, saw the deer just staring at me. A guy in the oncoming lane that was stopped honked his horn. The deer got spooked decided to jump off the bridge. Unfortunate for him too. this is the bridge....

That's enough internet for me today.

Had an encounter with 3 deer......2 I saw. Saw em running across the road so I braked hard and thought, whew!...Just as I get off the brake and start to accelerate, here comes #3. I slam on the brakes as its cossing my headlights and I hear a thump. Damn it, there goes the front facia! But when I got home, nary a mark. Think rear hoof connected with facia corner. So when some say the paint is crap on these cars, I can attest to IOM being pretty tough.

Agree with Tessa, aim for the middle, you'd go right under it without touching!

There's a difference between "murdering" and "hunting" you know.

!

If you're hungry and you kill it to eat it then I'm all for it. Trophy hunting is nothing but cold-blooded murder to me. That's my take on it. I'm not judging you though.

Lol a subconscious mistake on my part; I was probably cursing for being in Alaska.

Your second and last sentences are diametrically opposed. This is a Camaro forum...not a soapbox for a non-hunter to stand on to show their ignorance about hunting. Don't you think it's possible that the rest of the carcass was donated to a food bank?

The Mythbuster's did a segment about a car hitting a moose. It does a heck of alot of damage to car and moose!

Fiftydriver · 06-07-2012, 09:39 PM

That would certainly ruin your day running into a moose. I would imagine it would come right through your windshield after it landed on your hood.

Not good.
