Many years ago, a college friend hit a domestic Boar Hog with his Sunbeam Tiger. He was fortunate and not injured, front of the car pretty much wrecked. He said it was more like hitting a stationary object than an animal.

Pigs and Bears both do alot of damage,as hitting them is almost like hitting a big rock that doesn't move,lol. But they're usually less deadly then hitting a Moose or a Horse,as they don't come through the windshield.
Porcupines and skunks are also bad ones to hit,as they're a b!atch to clean up after,lol

You need to quit looking through the wrong end of dat telescope.

Hitting deer sucks. Bigger worry are big cows out and friggin wild boars/hogs.

We gots raccoons and possums bigger than TX deer!

Moose are the most dangerous animal in Canada. The rule of thumb is hit a deer swerve for a moose

During our Great Lakes Circle Tour I was amazed by the moose warning highway signs.

11 grand thr missus granted the wish of a suicidal deer. 11 grand cad estimated to fix it. I got the freaked out phone call not much I can do told her to get a hold of the cops and report it. No big deal other than the 250$ cad deductible I pulled the headlight bucket out and cut back the inner fender so nothing would fall off or make a noise

Check with your insurance, there "might" be some provincial responsibility. Make sure there is some Deer hair around. In Manitoba, if you could prove a wildlife involved damage, they would often "waive" the deductible. But, with Manitoba's ********* insurance, this could change from one day to the next.
It is after all THEIR deer that decided to commit suicide on the front of your vehicle. The province should bear some responsibility for THEIR animals!!

Our newfie brothers have it the worst other than the other drivers moose are the biggest hazard. Here in Alberta moose and deer are common the hogs are slowly making their way up. Bears are a mostly summer time thing.

A picture of a momma grizzly bear and her two cubs. They were grazing on the side of the road and no I didn’t get out of the truck to get the picture

I live in Northern Ontario now and I have come awful close to having grilled Moose a few times. The last encounter, a cow came up from a ditch right in front of me, then she slipped and was down and all I could see over the hood of my truck was her ears! Looked over to the right where she cam from and there was the calf waiting mom's instructions.
It took a while for me to find the seat cover because the pucker factor kicked in, in a big way.
You live up here and you are going to see a lot more than Moose crossing signs. Last summer, the car ahead of me took out a Bear. Probably a 2 year old by the size of it. Bear didn't survive and car was not driveable.

These guys have no respect for the road either.

I have only hit one animal in my life time, many years ago I hit a young cow, I was going 45-50 MPH on a dark county road in a 1974 Ford Pinto , by the time i got to a phone to call it in to county and back to the seen that cow had been hit again by someone else's and still got it self into the ditch, I got lucky, I did not have to pay for the cow, the area I hit it was is was not open range, but 1/4 mile behind where I hit it was open range....

Years ago, the Wife and I were driving through Pennsylvania and she asked me why the deer crossing signs show the deer up on their hind legs.

I said it was because they like to jump off these outcroppings we are driving by and people actually can be injured badly when the deer try to get in the vehicle with them.

It scared the crap out of her to say the least. On the way back through that area at night, we saw bunches of them right near the side of the road.

One in particular was down in the swail, all you could see in the headlights looked like the rear end of a horse at road level. When we got close, his head lifted up and revealed this huge rack.

If he had decided to run out on us, that would've been very bad for us, for sure.

Glad I've never had to experience this.

Right, not !!!!

Decades back, I had one jump out of roadside brush in front of my Land Cruiser, tagged it with the bumper which was pretty stout, the vehicle unmarked, deer gone. I was driving slowly, deer season and a lot of movement. An old friend had the same thing happen - took him and the windshield off his Harley - he and the Harley recovered, the deer was just gone.

Here's another Momma Grizzly,she also had 2 cubs,you just don't see the 2nd one,didn't see any cubs with the 2nd bear,so i'm not sure if it was a male or female Grizzly.This was up the Kanasksis highway,and there was a young British couple on bicycles ,they were you might say scared $h!tless,so we threw them and their bikes in the box of the truck and hauled them up the road about 2 miles,before dropping them off.See all kinds of wildlife on both the 40 and 93,as the 3rd pic was taken on the way up to Saskatchewan River Crossing

I was at Yellowstone a decade back at least, in the car with family, in a traffic jam. All the cars ahead were pulled up, most people out on foot to look at a ********* Bear and a Grizz of comparable size who were apparent buddies. They are faster than you can believe, and these idiots were moving closer for photos. I was carrying legally, and left the scene, not responsible. Nothing in the news the next few days, so I guess fools survived. Time and again, folks get too close to even Buffalo with bad to fatal outcomes. There is a reason they are called Wild Animals!

 

[Magfan2]

Whoa! Asterisks on a wildlife description! Who knew!

 

[bcbouy]

around here it's not even a question of if,it's when. I've dodged,(get it?) so many deer. my dad hit a moose in his vw beetle.you can guess what happened to that car.

In Nevada avoid driving at night on remote roads because they are just too many horses and cattle on the roads.

Working in places like Wyoming, Idaho and Utah we had strict rules for driving at night. We went below the speed limit, designated driver no alcohol and we had a spotter in the front seat to help spot wildlife. I can remember missing 6-8 deer and elk in one night. Larger animals are the worst. Moose come right through the windshield because they are so tall.
