I haven't Hit a deer yet but i have hit his bigger cousin (the moose). Wasn' fun and the car that i did have will never be the same again. I can tell you this for sure. I don't think I have ever stood on the brake pedal as hard as I did that night. I was heading from Maine to Up-state NY to visit my brother at Ft. Drum. it was about 2:30, 3:00 am and I was flying down the road. I had come up around one corner and over the little hill and my eye kind of caught the glimpse of something, but by the time I could tell what it was, it was WAY too late. I tried to move to the other side of the road but that **** bull walked forward and by that time it was too **** late. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty and I was practically standing on the break pedal, but all to quick it was over. I hit that moose with my 86 monte carlo SS in the rear legs, spung him around in the air (or what seemed to be a flying moose) but he came down and when he did he crushed the front end of that car. needless to say I was scared (should have worn brown pants). lucky for me, it's been my only hit (knock on wood).
