High beams were not on. And they're not that bright anyway since they are Freightliner factory standard.
The poor bird. And I'm not eating the thing, either. Plucking all those feathers. -
Yes have the same issue with Kangaroo's they seem to like running towards a vehicle rather than away from it, ever wonder what it sounds like when you connect with an 80 kg Kangaroo at 100 km per hour?

Bigger thunk. No worse than hitting deer/elkalds, mjd4277 and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this.

I hit one of those stupid things last year at about 3am in BFE oregon. Centered it up right in the grill. Feathers everywhere look like i ran over a bunch of chickens with the white feathers everywhere
Cattleman84, mjd4277, Flat Earth Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Free chicken nuggets!! That bird is probably good for a 10 piece!!lol
Owl probably thought your Freightliner looked like a mouse while it was diving in for the kill,only to realize at the last second it was going to bite off more than it could chew!!
“OH SH...THUNK!!!”
Don’t feel too bad about it, A few weeks before I turned it my previous truck at Marten headquarters at some point I killed a bat-it got wedged in the grille grating behind the housing!!!

Flat Earth Trucker and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
That poor owl probably weighed less a pound. Not many nuggets you get out of that.
In other unexciting news, my lovely waitress at the Boise Stage Stop folded my dinner check into an origami frog.
That's never happened before.
Dale thompson and mjd4277 Thank this. -
