Nope; just elk & bison. Naturally, speed is also a factor, as well as front end slopes & other geometry.

I’d still rather take my chances not swerving, rather than roll off an embankment or hit someone else head on...my comp deductible is half what my collision deductible costs.

(NOTE: I said and meant “swerve”; never said I wouldn’t try to slow (even stop if possible) and CONTROLLABLY steer around one.)

Well, see, the unique problem with moose, as opposed to other animals, is that their considerably big, heavy body sits atop long spindly legs.

When a vehicle hits them, it hits only the legs - not the body mass. That leaves the whole body to come smashing into your - rather THROUGH you windshield - indeed, more often than not - it will take the whole top of your car off - top of YOU too...
