I've gotten two moose that way...one with a "other-than-Ford-brand" station wagon, and one with my old Ford F150. I totalled out the station wagon, and did $4500 worth od damage to my truck! I don't recommend this type of road hunting...it can get quite expensive!

yeah if you didn't fly into a rock-filled cloud first!

We have a lot of bush pilots up here and there's an old saying...
"Any landing you can walk away from is a good one!"
