If you have an older Volvo, those are specifically designed to resist a Moose collision. That's why they are so boxy shaped and stout.
A guy I used to work with came into work once and said he had a Deer run into the side of his truck. He didn't know where it went so he came to work. A couple of minutes later, another guy came in and congratulated him on getting his Deer that year. We went down to the parking lot and the Deer was laying in the back of his truck. One major problem though. It wasn't dead, just stunned. It came to while we were looking at it. It was a good sized buck with intact antlers. You never saw a group of guys scatter like that before I'll bet. The Deer was VERY unhappy.

I have discovered in my 61 years of life that the older the vehicle, the better it fares inan accident involving animals
When I was a kid, I drove a 64 impala, wasp waste frame, bt that didnt matter cause deer hit the steel grill on that tank then came teh 73 gmc, plastic grill exploded when the deer was on the way to the radiator, third vehicle was a 68 dodge power wagon
best damn truck I have ever seen, I'd buy another one NOW even if it didnt run, I hit a damn COW with tha thing and got bloody hair on the winch and a leg stuck in eth steering system. 0 damage, not even a scratch, you cant damage a old WM300

It scooted my truck about 2 feet sideways and totaled the nearly new Silverado.
