Good Lord, Carol! That deer sure smashed in your car. There is always danger of hitting deer on the country roads around here, but it's not as bad as in upstate New York. There are incredible numbers of them out at night around there.

I've had a couple of fairly close encounters with them in Ontario, but not as close as the time in Pennsylvania. That deer missed my windshield by just inches. He jumped right over the hood of the car, and I was in a '75 Honda Civic, going about 55 mph. It would not have been good at all if I had hit him.

As for moose, hitting them will usually kill you. They're just too darn big.
