I had to look at this pic for a good 5 minutes. There is a road back home in WV that look EXACTLY like that bend, I meant to the T, about 2 minutes from my house. Weird!
 
speaking of bee hits, I use to ride with an open face helmet back in
the 70's till the bee. Got in the helmet on my ear and stung me, I was running
about 60 mph and you've never seen someone shuck a helmet so fast and
toss it in the side ditch whilst running 60.
 
bees, birds, moths, should try riding in rural australia- kangaroos (which nearly killed me 3 wks ago ) emus ( 6 foot flightless birds) wallabies, flocks of galahs, wombats ( picture a 4 legged beer keg ) goannas, and swarms of locusts, at least we dont have to many deer
 
ive seen pictures of the bastards sitting in cars- can you eat em? the closet we have to them would be water buffallo ( think crocodile dundee ) luckily their only in the northern territory ( 4000kms away )
 
Hell yeah, they're great eating. Caribou might be as good, and I've heard elk is good too. I'm not as fond of Venison though. A full grown moose can weigh up to 1,800 pounds and stand 7 feet tall at the shoulder, and has a top running speed of 35 mph. They're not nearly as common as deer though.
 
Yup, I wrote off my first bike thanks to a pheasent. I was leaning over doing about 90km/hr when in my peripheral I see wings like batman jumping out of a bush and before I could even get a good look, it decided to play chicken and bounce off my shield causing me to tuck the front end. Bike slid about 50 feet into a pole looking at me with her eyes and died. Me on the other hand, had a wee bit of road rash but the gear took most of the impact. As for the bird, bastard got away. Would have been good eating!!!

The radar detector seemed to blow up on re-entry!
 
Let me give you an example,

Six years ago between myself and four other neighbours taking in about a five mile radius we shot over 20 nusiance bears in two weeks. One guy shot eight in one session that were grazing on his grain before the others took off. Mostly they were coming out after the grain in the fields. They aren't as big of a threat on the roads but you lose a lot of pets. Wolves, foxes, skunks, racoons, porcupines... You don't want the kids to get too attached to kitty or Fido.
