WOW Corey. That could have ended really bad. I'm glad you guys are OK.

Did the police or anyone else have any comments as to how common hog collisions are around there?

father in law said he did not know there where any in that area where we hit it. said it may be larger then I was thinking. I did get out and looked for it to make sure it was died, it was about 10yrds from where I hit did not see it breathing. did not even have an knife on me this time.
FHP does not do car Vs wild life calls. and the guy that came out was from another county.
