My HS English teacher hit a german shepard on the freeway--70MPH days. Head looked like it was mounted on the grill like a trophy. Nice gal, kinda ruined her day.

And speaking of ruined days: I was pumping gas from 71 to 75--probably 73 as it was 70MPH days before the 50/55 nonsense. Anyway, it comes a Jeep Wagoneer, the big 4wd station wagon. The woman pops out, she is wearing a pink pants suit. She hit a grouse (?) at the top of the windshield right at the glass metal junction. Broke through the windshield and bent the metal in. There is glass and feathers and blood and poop all through that car. And allllll over her. She was just kind of in shock, with the "What do I do?" thing going on.
I just told her I wish I could do something for her, but I didn't know what to do...so she filled up and took off.

Ain't nothin' worse than cows on a railroad track. Them dumb animals run away from trouble--can't figure out to sidestep. I think that farmer went to work on his fences after that.

I've hit 2, and we now call my van "The Tank". The only damage from the deer are 2 dimples in the trim under the grill, and a crack in the grill.
