    Whoa, that would sure mess up the grill. Hope the driver had a guard, one of the smartest inventions for trucks I've seen in a long time. I asked a driver that had one of those guards, if he hit anything with it yet, he said , no, but he was kind of looking forward to it.
     
    Puppage Thanks this.

    LOL -more interesting are the comments below the article/picture.
    Apparently truck drivers rank below the gigantic vermin that you may accidentally turn into road kill.
    I wonder if the drivers in here could some how blow up (through the internet) the driver hating commenter's profiles on that site.

    Though moose (meese :) ) strikes are slim, they kill more motorists than any other animal due to the long legs being clipped and the huge body coming through the windshield. I guess it would be hard for a cat or dog to kill you unless you over reacted. I remember a girl in high school that got killed when she ran into a cow with her VW. It got loose and was walking down the road.

    I'd liked to seen a picture of the truck.

    Read them comments on that link... pathetic! :biggrin_25513:

    Will charges be filed against the driver, or is the justice system prejudiced against members of different species? :biggrin_25526:

    That's "PETA" (People Eating Tasty Animals).

    Although, they are definitely a PITA (pain in the a..).

    OH, OH, I had a feeling this would backfire on me. HEY, WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME? Truth be known, I don't eat meat, not because I'm an animal fanatic, but, I think it's disgusting cooking it.:smt078
