Last night i took the bii for a drive and as i was going around a turn at 40-42MPH when some stupid doe ran out right in front of me and smacked into the bumper. :icon_hornsup: I think the D-ring tab got him first then the tires, atleast the bii isn't torn up.:yahoo:

Glad the B2 didn't get hurt, or you. Luckily I've only hit a deer once and that was after the vehicle beside me and the deer was in a flat spin and I cought it, but it didn't hardy hurt my TBird.

I pulled it off of the road and into the woods. I have a lot of foxes around here, and i'm sure they'd love to have it more than i would.

Mythbusters did an episode on that... Well, on whether a car could make it under a moose. Not even a Honda CRV was low enough, You would probably need to be in a Miata or MGB without a windshield, and still need a bit of luck. lol

But yeah, between 1500lb Moose, 500lb Caribou and 1000lb Grizzly Bears, driving can be a real bitch.
