    Santa better bring you a new front end for that!!

    Guess we won't be seeing dancer or Prancer anytime soon. Hope they reproduced. Flying reindeer are hard to come by.

    Ok.....Prancer better have gotten jiggy wit it with a nice doe then.

    Dancer'll just have to get a cast.

    Hope Rudolph doesn't get stuck with the slack.

    Insurance will probably write a nice check for that damage. Maybe enough to come close to covering the cost!

    Just think - the next time you'd hit a deer will only require a quick rinse with the hose to fix!

    Sorry Chuck. Any interest in an aftermarket bumper? Maybe that'll be the silver lining.

    Never happens when you are about to spend a month in the Bahamas and don't need the truck.

    Hopefully you can get it in right away and get you back to before the accident.

    That sucks man. I crunched the back bumper on mine. Wound up getting a ICI magnum for $860.00. Stock p.o.s. was 705. My deductible is $1000. Amfam let me get what I wanted, so I only had to pay the difference between the two. So I got a real bumper for $155.00. Would have had to pay the deductible anyway. The body shop said guys do it all the time. You're insurance company will probably be happy to let you get a beefy bumper, less chance of another claim from bambi.

    Sorry man, it's a constant concern of mine, we've got a lot of deer around where I live. Nothing's happened in the 17 yrs I've been driving these "mountain" roads and I feel it's like Russian roulette and my number's coming......sometime.

    No, hit to hard. Bones would be splintered through out the meat. Hit it then it went under truc
    That's the way it's been here. I've lived here in the mountains for 22 years and always worried about hitting a deer. Every day almost you see one hit between here and town. Luck ran out the other day.
