A 100-150# (bigger than that is a real monster and unlikely in most places)

There are often exceptions but as a general rule I like "Lay on the horn, stand on
the brakes, stop in a straight line." as a strategy. The vehicle stops better in a
straight line anyway.

Unless it comes through the windshield.
Fortunately I've only hit them driving truck/suv vehicles. Tall enough that it
has
hit them square on the body. I've never had one come up onto the hood or
windshield.
That could be bad. I've also found that if you lay on the horn as soon as you
see
them, it breaks them out of their "deer in the headlights" freeze.
