Had a head on 1 foggy morning right around corner from house. Heading to work 4 am, slowly 15 mph? out of no where, all I see is 2 big eyeballs, of a huge great dane, he hits his brakes lol slid into bumper & grille of my S-10 blazer, got up and gone.... I stop for coffee at freeway on-ramp, come out, find my grille held in by 1 screw, busted headlight, trim ring. Hope he wasn't hurt too bad, scared the beejebus outta me!

Hit a tumbleweed that busted out headlight, trim ring , dented fender corner! tough weed stalk!

Service van, just got off freeway I-15 Cajon Pass , Calif......2 pet goats on road, I'm watching em, I'm doing 50-60, bigger goat decides to turn and walk right in front of me. Big mistake, corner of bumper tore his hind quarters to bits,I stopped to look for him, they had ran off into the desert. Guessing he died, smaller one might have went home, didn't touch him. LOL Didn't hurt work van whewwww

Its the cows and bears in southern MO that I have done some crazy driving to avoid. They dont leave much of a car.

Hit my first Deer ever last year west of Fargo, it jumped out the center medium, all I saw, was it flying thru the air and land into my left steer tire. wasn't any traffic for a mile in front or behind, so why did it pick out me.

I get my first Deer driving a Tanker to an Oil Well, at Destination KillDeer ND.

Almost hit two dogs crossing the street, only thing that saved them was the fact the light was red and I was stopping.

My training engineer and I think they were escaping from the Chinese buffet across the street.
