Quite honestly I don't know if I would trust a deer or elk on the roof of my Civic
most modern vehicles would have damage done to them and with the abundance of trucks nowdays what's the point.
Not to mention there is very little places for securement on modern vehicles. I found this out the hard way when trying to secure a coyote on the aforementioned Honda civic.long story short I buried it in the ditch snow and came back with my truck.
