I was concerned about hitting an elk before I did and somewhat paranoid afterwards. I have Army-issued body armor in my locker that I have not used in a couple of years. I have thought that it ought to do something if I hit another elk--I was fine the first time, but people die in much larger vehicles.
I think about the damage to my 1990 Accord. It dented in the bumper, grill, hood, windshield, and front foot of the roof.
I am pretty sure that my Civic has a shorter hood, so if it hit a similar elk in a comparable fashion, it would be worse for me.
Also, the Accord weighed 2,728 pounds while my Civic is 2,519, which could conceivably make a difference.
