Now here is one for the "I don't believe it" category:
My brother RAN OVER a buck up in the NH Lakes region with his Geo Metro (He calls it his "clown car", an you would too when you see a 270lb. guy climb out of this sub-sub compact.)
He saw the deer in time to brake, but the deer was hit in the hind quarters, kbnocked down and rideen over by the car. The ONLY damage to the car was a dented hood. The police officer that took my brothers info didn't believe the report until he saw the scene firsthand.

I've had more than my share of roadside wildlife encounters, only mine have been with moose.
With a deer, the collision "could" be fatal, but with a moose it "ususally" is!
