I did pretty much the same to a cocker spaniel about 20 years ago. I've also hit birds, cats, squirrels, and probably the worst thing I ever ran over was a "HUGE" water moccasin that was crossing the road. I took some bad advice from my buddy (we were both drinking at the time) who said to just roll over it slowly. it up biting the tire on my jeep and got its fangs stuck and when I took off the snake went flying and almost ended up IN THE JEEP with me and my friend. :O

My dad hit a moose outside of Jackson Hole. Totalled the car. The car came to rest right next to the injured moose which proceeded to kick holes in the side panel of the car with its hoofs until a rancher drove by & shot it.

Last animal I hit was a bobcat... was about 6 years ago. He lived at least long enough to run off.

I just killed a robin about 15 minutes ago.  He landed in the road in front of me for about 1 second then took off right into my front letf headlight.  What was he thinking?
