Thats not funny..wild turkeys can weigh over 20 lbs....I hit one once,a glancing hit,hung on..if it was headone??...well birds bring down airliners DO IT??
Ran over a wood chuck....head one ..kilt him on the spot.....the varmints that really cause damage,and life and limb are car chasing dogs...hit two of those also...Wrecked my bike...second hit damaged bike and me....Now deer ...well they will spoil yer whole day...Moose..well kiss your ass Bye! Bye!

Secondary road driving a bike is dangerous...back roads can kill ya!!

I did eat the turkey and the chuck.....dam dogs .I shot one of the dog varment!....

Car chasing dogs kill people

while I'm bloviating here..I remember this young mom,had two Lil kids in car..dog charges out,she swerves,to avoid hitting the dog,however she hits a pole...killing her and two kids...dog just trots off...never looked back1..True story!!

My advice is to never swerve to avoid hitting any animal.....it can kill you!!
