In NJ, my car was hit by a deer. It ran into the left side of my car, broke the mirror off and shattered the driver's side window. The mirror went forward and I ran over it. The deer was on the road but all I heard was hoofs on cement and did not see the deer run off. I have seen live deer on the side of the road but none came close to my car before. The car was a Nissan Sentra.

Now I am in NH. We have to worry about encounters with moose. I definitely don't want to have one run into me, especially since I drive a Smart Fortwo. Would it notice that it ran into a Smart car? One moose to another; 'Hey, dude, you have a Smart car stuck to one of your hooves'. :)
It is highly probable a Moose would go over a Smart Car rather than into it. You only have to worry about it's legs.
