My deer scoop has been road tested one time so far on a mature doe at 45mph with only a cracked headlight lens and some minor denting on the nose and hood to show for it. The rounded nose and sloped hood redirected the impact energies upward so the last I saw of the deer, it was going straight up and it passed over the top of my car and returned to earth behind me.

The deer I hit was much larger and I was going a lot slower than that race car, so my deer was only ejected upwards to twice the height of my vehicle. Otherwise, what happened to me was identical to that video.
