So this is the third truck I've seen with this cow catcher.  I'm just outside of Richmond right now.   I'm sure it's not new, just making my conspiracy wheels turn.

Many trucks up here have even larger Bambi bumpers on them because of the moose

I think I'm gonna get one for my Infinit G37!  Might make my miles per gallon go from 19 to 2 but if it saves my butt, it's worth it!

I talked to some Canadian truckers picking up loads in Port Newark.  They all had those bumpers.  They said hitting a deer ain't shit.  Hitting a moose is another story!!!

Never has anyone wanted more to be caught in a monsoon, than that guy.

I've wondered how well the plow on the front of the jeep would work.  It's got a polycarbonate blade though.

They have similar set-ups in Oz - on all sorts of vehicles - they call them "Roo Bars." Do a Google image search for "Roo Bars"

Adios,

The truck was still there when we pulled out this morning and it had an Indiana plate on it.  Maybe they have a lot of Deer where the guy lives or perhaps purple-haired screeching protest cows.

The kangaroos apparently won't stand for that crap anymore

I did a tour of Atlantic Canada some years ago and all the trucks up there had them.

Whenever I see a truck on 287 with those bumpers it usually has New Brunswick or Nova Scotia plates.

Anyone know of a good truck wash?
