I was thinking more on the terms of an old L Model Mack.

This is a ongoing problem here in New Jersey

Well.....it's official. Car is totaled. Will be getting a new set of glasses courtesy of Mr Bruin to.

It's time for a longer archery bear season. I'd also like to see the firearms bear season begin on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and run right through the week until the following Saturday for a season or two. I'd also like to see an extended season during firearm deer season for a year. I don't want to see them exterminated like we did in some areas with the deer, I'd just like to see a few less bears. There are just to damned many.

Like has been said...Glad you're OK. I understand your sentiments. We're steadily seeing bear around our camp in 2G and have had some close experiences this year already. We don't go out at night anymore without a flashlight and a quick look-see.
Down home in Indiana Co., we have a problem with bears dumping our garbage all over the road and scattering it. I fixed that problem by spraying the containers with PB Blaster. The bears don't like it at all. But the darn crows have become handy at causing clean-up now. Seems a guy can't win.......

Close call and glad you are all right.

Just seeing what happens to some vehicles when they hit deer is frightening. Hitting an animal that's bigger and tougher, your accident could have been worse. Glad to hear you are "OK"! I know it sucks,but you can replace the vehicle. [/align][/align][/align]Bring back SPROUL!!![/align]

Thanks folks. I don't know which is worse....dealing with the bears....or dealing with the damned insurance company.

Many years ago a Potter uncle hit an angus beefer that probably weighed about 600lbs or more. It was standing in the middle of a small bridge on a foggy,rainy night, unc never saw it until it was too late. Couldn't have gotten around it anyway, if he had seen it. He hit with a big ol' 1957 Buick, back in the days before seatbelts.

Totaled both the angus and the Buick, almost totaled my aunt and uncle. We used to pick on him for buying old Buicks, but after that deal, he said he'd never drive anything else. Back then, his "other car" was a B-60 Mack. As Manyspurs noted, usually ain't much of a fuss hitting stuff on four legs,with one of them rascals.
