that certainly sucks. Good thing its just a hood and lip, I've heard of deer doing a lot more damage than that. We have deer problems here a lot during some seasons. I was going around a cloverleaf interchange at about 90kph about a year ago and there was a fricken deer at the top of it. Luckily I was able to slow down enough and drive passed it, but I imagine it could have been pretty bad. Those things do have some weight to them.

I actually hit a fox doing about 70 the other day, I thought for sure it wrecked my lip, but it didn't actually do any damage at all.

The bug splatter around Fort Macleod is a Canadian horror story. At least it was on the bike.

Drove over a porcupine and the quills were stuck every where. Needed to get exhaust work done after and the mechanic wasn't impressed.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Yeah, stupid animals. On my way back from Burning Man at night, tired, and dreary, I saw a cow in the middle of my lane at the very last second. I was going about 65 in my fully loaded 33' RV with 7 other people and all their gear. I figured I'd clip the cow, since I didin't want to jerk it too much, and maybe flip. I think I nicked it's jaw, and woke everyone up. Woke me uo, too, enough that when a deer ran from my side, in front of us, going the same direction for about 5 seconds, I didn't kill it, either.
