    I can only imagine how terrifying that was. I was only on a small 2 lane road no faster than 40. At freeway speeds i woulda shat my pants. Glad you're okay though.

    Hit a deer with my 2016 in the exact same spot. Looks like you have a bit more damage in the hood and head light region but overall pretty similar. Hit the deer going 70 MPH. Total bill was around $5400 for repairs (obviously covered by insurance).

    Glad to hear you all are ok. A little late, but I'd buy a deer whistle and mount it somewhere. Cheap insurance and
    I hear they work well.

    Do the deer whistles actually work?

    Deer whistles are a waste of your money. Even if a deer reacts to your whistle, there is no
    way to determine the direction the deer will bolt in reaction to your car. Read the following
    article - http://www.deeranddeerhunting.com/articles/how-effective-are-deer-whistles. If
    you by chance do purchase the deer deterrent whistles, how do you verify the frequency
    they emit and whether a deer actually hears that frequency. Buy a beer instead, and practice
    honking your horn while crossing your fingers!:infantry:

    Just got through talking to the body shop and they said the estimate is $5,401.68 as long as there is nothing major wrong. Hopefully, I should have it back Friday. Keeping fingers crossed.

    Some say yes, some say no. I've never tried them myself, so I can't help. But
    they aren't too expensive.

    Same as everybody else...
    Sorry about your truck OP but I'm glad that you and your wife are okay. We have loads of deer in Southern Maryland and I drive mainly in the dark. Every year I debate putting on a steel bumper.

    I should put one on but I have not found any that I like, yet.

    I'm a little confused with all the information, some of it sounds good while others sound like they are trying to sell me something that is useless. I guess what couldn't hurt, spend ~$7.00 and see if it helps.
