Hit a pheasant on the A34 on the way to Southampton about 2 months ago - was working away on business and staying in a hotel.
When I hit it I looked in the rear view for the evidence to come out of the back end, as it were, and was surprised to not see anything - must have knocked it into the edge of the road, I thought.
Arrived at the hotel, looked at the front to check for damage, to find the said pheasant still sticking out of the hole where the lower grille used to be. (smashed grille, fog light and parking sensors - not happy).
Didn't really fancy pulling a dead pheasant, which looked to be very lardy and well stuck, and which, by this time, had done 50 miles since its untimely end, out of the car with my suit on, so asked at reception if there were any maintenance staff with some gloves and a stomach. To my eternal shame, the nice young lady receptionist got stuck in, with me watching in total embarassment
:) - can smile about it now.
