Just birds, mostly in my personal vehicle. 1 owl and 1 turkey, thought the owl was a cat until it spread it's wings out.

lets see ive hit 2 hawks one on the driverside mirror and one on the drivers side windshield it shattered the glass and scared the sh$T out of me(not at the same time ) countless little birds, one turkey, several deer (had a nice collection of bent bumpers at the yard for a while it seemed like i was getting one a month for a while)lots a skunks, a whole family of raccoons at the same time. I wonder if its legal to kill that many animals without a license

A Canadian friend of mine hit a moose. Boogered up the front of his truck, but he was able to drive it in for repairs. His thoughts on the ordeal? "Sheyat, there's a lot of blood in an effin' moose!"

Let's see... 1 horse, on NM 44 up on the divide; a bobcat on WA 14 in the Gorge; 3 misc. midwestern deer, a coyote (don't remember where; ) 1 dog, out on US212 west of Lame Deer; more rabbits, skunks, coons, snakes, and birds than I could ever hope to remember.
A few scattered turtles, one of which I almost missed but managed to launch him like a tiddly-wink. If he survived, he was gonna have one heck of a story to tell; last I saw him in the mirror he was climbing out at 45 degrees and about 60 knots.
One of the skunks I watched in the mirror as he rolled under the side rail for the whole length of the trailer. I was mighty glad his tail was pointed out!
I almost forgot! I had a near miss on a buck, but he left hoof prints all down the side of the tractor. Truck was pretty dirty and they clearly showed! -
2 deers,turkey,armadello,golpher turtle,I had a horned owl hit my windshield and got caught upside between the visor and windshield.drove 10 miles to truckstop and looked at truck to see where it was and that thing was turning its head watching me.The manager called around trying to find someone to get the endangered species off my truck.no one could come so a cowboy pried the thing off my truck and he put it in a box and left it on the porch of a petting zoo.all the seemed hurt was a broken wing

My record would be 5 deer lots of small birds a golden eagle that came thru the windshield alive that was a horrible one one of the biggest bull elk that I have ever seen that one really hurt 8000 dollars in damage 3 antelope a calf but the funniest had to be a huge bull walking down the middle of a dirt road rolled up behind him and layer on my horn he hauled off and kicked my truck put a hole thru my air to air and radiator and walked off and that's where I sat until the lowboy showed up to haul me in I guess you could say instead of me hitting him he hit me and showed me who was boss lol
-
That was funny haulhand but I'm just curious what kind of bull was that? We've all heard not to blow the horn at a Moose, was it a bull moose? I came across cattle a few times in Nevada and blew the air horn with success. Now in my travels cross country in my car I will include a bull as one to not beep my horn at thank you.

I ran over one dead horse. Was so big I went back to "drag the truck bumper off the road". Scared me speechless when it was a horse, not a bumper. My poor car (this was a personal vehicle) was never the same and I never got the horse hair out of my passenger underside.
UTurn55 Thanks this. -
It was just a bull and I won't do that again that's for sure
UTurn55 Thanks this.
