Internet jokes and even insults have to get pretty bad (ie, actual threats) for me to get upset.

I guess the bear was about the size of two full grown German Shepherds. Wild animal bones seem very tough though. I think since I was hard braking and my front end was pitching downwards, that's why the hood took the brunt. I was perhaps doing 30 mph when I hit it. I am just glad I cruise at 55 and that I pay good attention.

I had already decided to put on the grill guard when the truck is running, but this incident cements it! The 1972 inner grill is weak as can be.
