Looks like Farmgirl had an encounter with an Elk out in Colorado.
Go over and have a look at the gruesome pix! She turned her Crown Vic into an abattoir, and only has minor injuries to show for it. Lucky!
My Father had a similar smash-up with a Moose in Northern Maine back before I was born. Skidded a VW Beetle between the Moose’s legs. Gutted the moose, covering himself with moose blood, guts, and shit…his nose went into the windshield which is inches from your face anyway in those old Nazi Hockey-Pucks, but thankfully he cleared the moose before it toppled, otherwise it would have pancaked the car and I would have never been born.
An interesting fact is the White Tailed deer is the most dangerous animal in North America, and that’s 100% because of Auto-Strikes. This is similarly scary as the Tsetse fly is the most dangerous beast in Africa because of its affinity to spread deadly disease. Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my, but Bambi’s Mom, or a fucking fly will more likely kill you!
Farmgirl, glad you’re OK, keep going with that good luck! All of you out there, Be safe! And Hunters? Kill some of these evil vermin, not only are they a danger to people, they are filled with yummy meats!
Deer do kill in other than auto strikes there are always a few stories a year of a deer getting into a house and killing someone.
Saw a bumper snicker when I was visiting Upper Cryogenica that said “brake for moose, the life you save may be your own” – on a F-350!
They put that on road signs in the Northern Maine highways. Sometimes the small ones, sometimes the billboard-sized ones.
Moose are no fucking joke…and they are yummy.
Since the dang moose probably outweighs my ride, I kept an eye and a half peeled.
