Ack! Glad he missed you! I hit a stupid, heavy pheasant one morning while motorcycling across Wyoming and it nearly killed me. Fortunately I was wearing a full-faced helmet and my luggage was stacked high enough on the back of my bike that it kept my neck from breaking.
There were beautiful feathers everywhere (even a small one lodged in my helmet visor), and the remains weighed at least 5 pounds. I'd slowed to just over 50 before the impact, but my neck hurt for months after that.
