On one of my encounters with deer I came to a stop and
this deer and I just looked at each other. I couldn't
help but notice the 'Roc was of a height where a
direct hit might tumble the deer, just like your moose
description, back over the car. It might just come
crashing through the windshield, and maybe it's still
alive. Let your imagination take over from there.
Indeed, I know this to have happened in MN. I also had
another encounter just last night with two more deer.
They crossed well ahead of me. No problem with that.
