I used to live on a State highway, and at night the trucks would come barreling down the hill in front of my home. I got the idea that I would park my van parallel to the roadway on my lawn near the curb. I took a tomato juice can riveted an aluminum bracket to it and hung it on the driver's side of the side roll-down window. It looked just like a radar unit. In the morning I would take it off, however, one morning I was running late and forgot about it. The cars that were passing alongside me on the interstate kept looking at me as they passed. When I realized why, I pulled over to the side of the road and took it off.

I thought road hunting was illegal.

When I was on the voluteer fire department, we got a call for a moose vs. car accident.

Little car, like a Ford Escort (hey, it was a while ago...) Nose of the car went under the moose, the moose rolled across the hood and ripped the roof plumb off it. The driver's side A pillar gutted that moose slick as could be and the entire interior, not to mention the driver, was covered in moose breakfast and most of it's innards.

She survived since the seat back broke and she was laid flat, but we had to caution her not to open her eyes or mouth until we had a chance to wipe her down with pretty much every bottle of saline we had on the rig.

I was on the scene of some pretty gruesome accidents, but that's as close as I ever came to barfing.

Seen similar on a Ford escort wagon back in the late 80's.

Moose pealed the roof back and ended up in the back seat.

I tagged one straight on in the booty with a Ford ranger. Thankfully I was slowed down enough that it just cracked the windshield, caved in the hood, and smashed the grill.

Thankfully it was still mechanically sound, since it was the middle of the night and in the middle of no man's land in Vermont.

I will never forget that full moon plastered to the windshield and thinking this is not how I pictured things ending for me 😱😱😱😲😲😲
