Obliterated a deer..

[TahoeTom]

I hit a deer in my '67 VW bus. I was only going 45mph or so on a back road. I thought it was coming through the windshield. There isn't much between the driver and the outside in these things, just the front sheet metal. Drivers side was pushed back and headlight pointed whacky.

...seriously just honk at them and they will immediately turn and run back into the woods/ditch.

That doesn't work with moose. Not sure about caribou, but it definitely doesn't work with moose.

It's worse than I originally thought. The bumper pushed back into the fender and bent whatever the long horizontal blue piece is behind it some. And I havent been able to get 4 professional paint stores to match this blue paint to paint the bed so I wont be able to repaint it.

Pissed.

Took all the broken stuff off. I just gotta bend the passenger fender straight which I since did after taking this picture down in the bottom left, tightened the fender bolts and the bumper will hide the scars.

Man, the horns almost got my ac condenser. Flattened some fins if you look at the left side, but somehow didn't puncture it.

The best part of this thread actually is I saw it dead on the side of the road and ran its head over again on purpose. I really don't have a logical reason for doing so, just kinda was my instinct when I saw it. Someone had cut its horns off. Congratulations to you, probably going to say you shot it.

I'm sorry bud I Kno how bad it sucks to hit a animal I hit an elk with my 95 chev 2500 at 70 mph and had to use the jerseys barrier and my chain to get the front bumper out of the tire and luckly I wasn't leaking anything and was able to continue on the remainding 400 miles to my destination just fo find out as it went down the passenger side of the pickup it broke off the outside door Handle

If you can get me a bit of painted metal I bet I can get the color matched for you. I know an old paint guy that’s “retired” but still does some jobs for friends. He knows the old paints real well

Good to know! Doesn't work for jaywalking homeless people in Seattle either, while we're on the subject. Use horn=get finger and yelled at.
What do the moose do?

Don't play with the moose seen this video awhile ago and have herd story's of them comeing out of nowhere and charging cars

Maby just smoke him out

What do the moose do?

Once they launch, they usually run straight ahead. If they change course at all, it usually seems as if they are suicidal, and trying to get hit.

Since mine is a Moose Jr., it would have to be a small moose for me. Otherwise, I'd still let it go.

Use this as an excuse to stick a big home made bull bar on your bullnose. Something like what I have on my truck. Then you can hit stuff on purpose
