Often referred to, locally, as getting your moose the hard way. Moose
are built funny. Their legs are really long, so the torso is quite a
ways up in the air. Hit a mature one with a F150 type truck and the
torso will hit the windshield (cut the legs out from under it).
The baby moose, born this spring, was about the size of your
whitetailed deer, and could walk under mama's belly.
Almost hit a pig a couple of years ago, got out of somebody's yard
and ran out into the road, narrow twisty 2-lane with brush along
side. That scared me, I've heard that can do as much damage as
hitting a bear (short legged very compact animals, kinda like hitting
a pile of bricks).
