eheh try hitting a bull elk weighing the same but on tall thin legs that put
the brunt of the impact not on the front end but directly through the
windshield. Then wait and see if he die on impact. If he doesn't they
generally thrash. Nothing like being stuck in a car with about 6 foot of
antler. Had a friend hit a horse. Man that wasn't good either. The horse
damn near killed her when the horse woke up sitting in her lap.

Most dangerous? Try hitting a Cow. (Basically like hitting a Peterbuilt!)
A buddy of mine (living in Petaluma, CA) went for a romp in his K5 Blazer
and
came around a corner only to slam on the brakes and hit a cow squarely in
the
side. (K5 front end was totaled and he was in the hospital for a few days.)
Lesson: Never hit a cow at 40mph...things get REALLY messy. (Ok..and we
were
still in highschool at that time.)
