    Uhhh... a moose isn't a kangaroo. You hit a moose with your ARB roo bar and you're f**ked.

    Yeah, problem with moose is that no matter the vehicle you’re driving, when you hit them you’re just sweeping the legs, at which point their full mass is still traveling over your hood straight at your head.

    It’s what aussies use to hunt kangaroo. Basically like giant tusks that bolt on the the frame and you drive up and spear as many kangaroos as you can.

    This thread is a let down. I figured my comment would bring this to life.
    The people who hit the moose are a one hit wonder band from the 90’s.


    I really want to know why op is following them in FB :rofl:

    Most creatures don't look so hot when dead. Alive they are goofy, but also incredibly majestic.

    Like this? These don’t do anything when you hit something but bend. The design is terrible for actually trying to deflect anything but a small branch from a bush.

    OK, while sick at home, my old boss calls and asked me to help them out, so I first wrote this post as I was doing some web research for them on large mammal road kills and wildlife caused vehicular accidents for a highway safety project. The results I got were interesting, such as; besides Aussies, Canooks [Edit: Canucks] get the highest points for vehicle accident injuries caused by large mammals, and of all animals, deer are the king of accidents. Also, in the US, there are around 200 human deaths per year caused by motor vehicle accidents with animals, and guess what small wild mammals are also up on the list for causing motor vehicle accidents?

    Was it...

    MURDEROUS SQUIRRELS?



    or KILLER RABBITS?


    Well if you went with rabbits, you were wrong, because most small wild animal accidents were caused by squirrels!
