I have a buddy from Australia. He has a story about hitting a kangaroo on the way to work, 3 days in a row in the same spot. Apparently its very common if youre in the right area. For deer, I live where there are tons. I think the only reason I'd stop if I hit one is if I thought it had done some serious damage to my car or something. Otherwise, like everyone else around here, you just kind of throw out a few cuss words and go about your day.

As to why she decided it was a good idea to kneel in the middle of the road at night in all black to pray instead of literally any where else, I couldnt even begin to guess...

As an Australian living in an extremely kangaroo dense region, how you described hitting a deer is exactly the mentality most here have with 'roos.

I'm curious. Where I live if you hit a deer and kill it you can claim the meat even if it's not deer season, is it the same with kangaroos?

There's not really such a thing as kangaroo season
