We'll start with the northern New England mantra (on billions of bumper
stickers at this point): "Brake for moose, it could save your life"

It probably was.  Those things can *jump* like superman.  Plus the legs
are spindly and don't interfere much with the impact, so the car drives
throught them and the animals body impacts the windshield (recommended
even less with 1500 moose than 400 pound deer...).  So glad to hear your
(very lucky) wife is basically ok!!!!  Sad about the deer and the car,
but "they" will make more in each case.

BTW, another rule around here is you hit it, you keep it.  Get a good
deer cutter down there fast and stock the freezer with veni-burgers.
