 It would make sense around here where the deer and the antelope play -- in
the road. Scratch the antelope. They're lightweights. It the elk and moose
that can really do a number.

   Some time back, my mother went on a bus tour. A little
   way into NS and a bull moose decided to challenge the
   bus. Straight-on impact. Saw the oix - totally tore off
   the right-front tire/suspension. Damned thing probably
   weighted 2000 pounds.
   It did not survive - but neither did the bus.

I had a deer riding on the hood of my last Toyota. No fatal damage. The
hood still closed although it had a new sculpted look and a few nylon ties
took care of the plastic pieces.

   Deer, esp in the Lower-48, have become a Real Hazard.
   From about North Carolina on up a BIG hazard. The
   'conservationists' insisted on blocking hunting deer
   and now there are a zillion of them. They do NOT
   'get' automobiles.
   Oh ... there's a live police show ... "On Patrol Live".
   Lately there was some perp and his girlfriend on a
   motorcycle trying to flee at high speed. Somewhere
   on a country track a deer abruptly leaped from the
   bushes and T-boned the bike. End of chase  :-)
