We call them deer catchers here in Va. Hunters aka Rednecks use them to run over huge bucks that cross the road, then pull them from the guard when they get home, cut the head off and duct tape it on their trailer wall and claim they shot it.
The one deer I hit at 60mph would've benefited from exactly that. Well the deer wouldn't have benefited at all. He hit the passenger fender and apparently I rolled right over him. He got up and ran off (and presumably died). My friends following behind me said it was pretty amazing. Slightly dented my fender and broke the side marker lens.
