I hit a moose a few years ago and lived (the survival rate for that kind
of accident is terribly small). The moose didn't make it.

It was on a lonely country highway in New Hampshire. And every driver
stopped and asked if I was going to keep the meat. 10 years ago NH
stopped allowing you to take a road kill. Instead, the NH Game Dept.
slaughters the meat and distributes it to needy families via the welfare
department.
