    Driving home from work last night and saw a deer running across the road in front of me. Slammed on the brakes and a second deer hit the end of the front bumper and spun down the side. It saw me about the time I saw it's little friend and was hard on the brakes itself. It's head was down and it slid in low. I looked in the mirror to see it spinning in the other lane, it looked a little dizzy as it got up and walked away.

    Scuffed the bumper a bit and put an A$$ print in the drivers door

    Could be worse I guess, but angry as heck just the same.
    Kinda glad I removed the flaps when I bought the truck. That one would have been broken now anyway and probably would have damaged the body cladding on the way out.

    Nice - now try that when your on a motorcycle. I was riding with a buddy of mine when a deer took him out from the side. He never saw the damn thing coming.

    He turned out fine, the bike not so much.

    I know how you feel. Got one just ouside Cincinati, the deer hit the corner of the fender at the signal light with his head and the body hit the side. I was in the middle lane and the third car and that was in the after noon. 3000.00 later
