[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1391869, member: 77249"] As a wildlife Officer for 34 1/2 years and my travels to Canada and Alaska I have seen and worked a lot of road kill incidents, The bad thing with a hog would be, With short legs, Center of gravity close to ground, The hog would go down, The front of the vehicle would go up over the hog, The driver would lose control and then things would go, OH S!!! The bad thing with a big truck or tractor trailer is, If a low heavy animal like a hog or bear even a deer hits the end of the front bumper, It folds in, Cuts and blows the tire. The driver loses control of the truck and its load ends up in the opposite lane or out of the road, Headed for parts unknow. I was on a road kill one night. New Mack Tandem Axle Dump Truck. The owner/driver picked it up at the dealer and was coming home. Less than 100 miles. Hit deer, Bent Bumper, Cut Tire. Truck went into ditch with a rock hillside. The Truck left the scene hanging on the back of a wrecker. [/QUOTE]
