Yep and I found the culprit... told you it was a big bugger!

Make sure your TB jabs are up to date before you touch Carl's car. You know what them badgers are like!!

Carl, you just need to drive a bigger car:

Buddy of mine was driving back to Georgia from upper Quebec (only 1500 or so miles, they are funny like that over here). They do one of these 30 hour non-stop driving trips. He was driving his DD, one of these; a Ford Excursion




For people who think a Suburban is a bit pokey inside (c/w 7.3L diesel engine)

Anyway, somewhere in Illinois after dark, he hears (rather than feels) something hit the front of the vehicle and pulls over a few miles later and notices a hole in the big plastic grill at the front of the truck, with some feathers around it. He’s poking around with his fingers when suddenly

A big pair of owl eyes open in behind the grill. He tries to get it out, but the owl is none too happy and won’t let him, so he has no option but to drive from IL to GA (700 miles, or so) with this owl clinging on to the inside of the grill. Back home he goes to the vet and has the owl removed. Poor thing had a broken wing, not surprisingly, which was fixed and it was then released, a little far from home.

His Excursion still has the hole and owl-sized dent in the radiator. Now I know a badger is bigger than an owl, but this thing could hit a deer and not notice.


Just get a big truck, Carl, it’s the American way

I smacked a deer up the bottom in my old Discovery..... had to tie a rope to the bull bar.. and pull it back using a nearby tree`s help.... then i could get my bonnet undone
