I feel blessed after reading this thread. No deer, skunks, cats. Did hit a swarm of bees when I was on my first bike. Only got stung once. Plenty of rocks hit me, a piece of 2x4 hit my bike. Had a small yellow bird commit suicide on the windshield of my Heritage this past summer. Some kind of a stinging insect hit me butt first last year. Left a welt and a small black and blue mark on my right cheek. Other than that just the usual.
The scariest thing was a small fox. It was instantly in front of me, and I had no time to even react. Splat drove right through it. Blood and guts everywhere. Very gross. I barely even wobbled, not sure how that happened. Also, 2 years ago some smart *** threw out what was left of a cassette tape, driving through a very congested area. He was directly in front of me and I think he did it on purpose. There was tape everywhere ! I don't know how long I was pulling it out of my spokes, and various hard to get to parts. If I could have got him, I'd have stuffed every inch of that tape down his throat.

The worst was a bear last Oct. 5th. I have taken out 3 birds. Been stung by bee"s 3 times. Ran over a dog. Had to dodge carpet padding flying out of a pick up once going down the freeway. Had a drink thrown at me. Got hit between the eyes by a big bug and had to pull off the freeway.

Years ago on my Panhead chopper following a utility truck.About the time I noticed something between the rear dual wheels it came out and struck in the breastbone.It was a baseball sized rock,that damn near knocked me out.Could not breath good for an hour or so,or even hold my head up straight.The black and blue mark was 10+" in diameter.Dr,thought it may have bruised my heart.
