I've hit a rabbit on my road bike, just missed an Elk on my Mtn. Bike (I'm certain it would have killed me)

This past summer I was riding down an twisty descent when I went through some gravel, I yelled back to my buddy to watch out for it, but didn't know if he heard me. He had to slow down because of some mechanical trouble, so I was looking back to see if had crashed or what when I looked back up I nailed a dead possum and shot his guts and stink all over the place, it was the nastiest thing.
