Are you sure that wasn't a Senator's player?
No, Senators players jump in front of trains, not cars :P
Yeah, the critters are out in force now, almost whacked a pair of squirrels on my way into work yesterday <_< Sure it won't do nearly the damage that a buck can do, but its still messy (Hell, a buck demolished my dad's '74 Cutlass years ago while my dad was doing 80 km/h! :ph34r:)

Unlike the Leafs who get run crushed by anything that moves. :P
I've had a couple of instances with the Gold Focus in the last few years. First time was narrowly avoiding a cow moose outside Petawawa. The second was hitting a dead wolf carcass on the highway, very scary experience.
The Black Focus tends to go for small game. Let me see the tally:
- Skunk hit the front bumper and probably survived with a massive headache.
- Froggy in the rain on the road. He went squish.
- Another skunk, 2 inches away from spraying. Too close.
And the grand winner, one white tail rabbit. First he darted left and saw a 4ft median. Then he darted right to see a sharp 3ft snowbank. His final thought in haste was to outrun the car. Which was a good plan for about 5 feet. He unfortunately succumbed to the same fate as the first skunk, massive headache, but then a loud crunch came afterwards. :o
Bull moose are friggin' scary.
with the larger game, all you can do is hit the horn and aim for the back legs...
tho, I think if it's a bull moose, and it ain't moving, might wanna aim for between the legs, better to have a moose testicle on your antenna than the full moose on your car!
i hit a deer back when i had a focus.. crumped by fender, messed up a headlight. the deer got up and ran away
on the upside.. it was a good excuse for me to get MACH hids :)
