Depending on traffic, speed, etc. I will try to avoid hitting animals, even small ones. Over the years I've clipped a few - chipmunks and squirrels, a raccon, etc. only 1 deer back in 1999 - I'm sure it died, as I was going 70 on interstate 80 in north central PA when it ran into the front left fender of my 98 windstar. Both airbags deployed and major damage ensued to the vehicle about $6000 total of which about 1/2 was getting replacement airbags. No one in the van was injured, just shook up. The van itself once some plastic around the wheel well was cut away proved to be drivable! Switched the passengers with me off to another van so they could continue on a trip for a museum visit and limped back home (about 100 miles) for vehicle repair, which took overlong because the repair shop had difficulty getting the passenger side airbag.

Should have sold/traded the van after that as I've never had a vehicle that attracted more accidents or had more mechanical problems. Overall, there was the deer, driver's side door was backed into while it was parked (the person doing it was nice enough to find me and notify their insurance of the problem), hit from behind while stopped at a traffic light waiting to make a right hand turn, the first transmission went at about 98,000 miles (luckily I had purchased a 100,000 mile warranty) the replacement went at about 145,000 miles, and the replacement for it purchased through AAMCO never did work right. NB - this is the only vehicle I've ever had that needed to have a transmission replaced, and I've racked up a few high milage vehicles over the years.

LMAO! One question - were you a place kicker or a punter?
The raccoon went through the uprights and that's all that matters. :lol:

When the police showed up, he escorted me to the back of his vehicle so that he could take my statement, etc. I immediately noticed the computer with Mickeysoft and asked if he had Solitaire on it. Surprised he didn't ask if I'd been drinking. :eek:

And now, a more peaceful encounter: Today a mallard mum and her kids walked into an office(!) here in Eskilstuna, and made it quite clear that she wanted the staff there to help her and the little ones to the nearby river.

It turns out she had a nest in the back yard, surrounded by office blocks. Now, there's a bit of bird brained planning... :D

We have a mallard mum and dad that have been visiting our bird feeder for about 7 years. After they established repeat visits, Mama started putting cracked corn in a pie tin to make things easier. Later, she added a small plastic tub of water so they could wash things down. She had to enlarge the size of the tub slightly because mum likes to climb into it.

We moved 5 years ago and they followed us about 1/2 mile down, and crossed, the road. Mama bought a 3 foot plastic pond with pump and filter and I built a varmint proof corn dispenser for ducks. Now that's bird-brained!

Birds... Agile creatures with lightning reflexes, never missing a beat, right? Wrong! They do make the occasional mistake, and sometimes leave very literal evidence of the fact...:notme: The picture was taken in central Eskilstuna last week (not by me, though).

Ouch!
That should have hurt. Reminds me of that Glass cleaner commercial.

Fortunately, we dont really get anything that big over here.
The deers are smaller and a lot less uncommon.
I was in the back when my friend completely destroyed his fiesta by running over a badger! they are surprisingly massive. It snapped the front wishbone on the car, buckled the axle and wrote the car off. The badger was weighed at 85Kg and no, it didn't survive. It might have only been a fiesta but we were doing about 60 throught the back roads.

they are surprisingly massive.
Yes indeed, and also extremely tough: A friend of mine ran over one with a much heavier car and caravan, doing around 90Km/h. As can be expected he damaged the car, and barely held it on the road. When he went to have a look at the badger, it growled, bared its teeth and walked off into the forest. I expect it died later, but still...
The badger was weighed at 85Kg.
85Kg! :mg: What on earth are badgers eating on that island???? Steroids? Ours weigh in at half as much, max...
