Oh deer...lol (2015, 36k miles)

Where I live, they had a bow hunt to cull some of the insane numbers of deer.subsequently a bunch of idiots started protesting the hunt and putting up signs to save the deer! I usually shoot 2 or 3 deer a year and of course eat em, way I look at it I should be given a major award

 

I hit a similar sized deer in 2013 at 55 MPH. They were able to fix the hood and fenders- very minimal damage. They're not perfect, but good enough for me and you wouldn't notice unless you really stared at it from 2 feet. The repair was just over $5k. The AC still worked, but the condenser was damaged so that was changed. Both headlamps, grille, bumper, horns, AC condenser, paint the front doors, fender, hood.... 8 years later, plus a hood, and that'll probably be $10k

edit- oops! I see you said ~$10k

 

do u get to keep the deer?

 

Sounds like the kinda thing that we do here in my neck of the woods. Im surprised the dude didn't ask ya if he could take it

 

We have goat and pig problems on Hawaii Island. Plenty people hunt everywhere. Saw a guy driving round the golf course here with a Polaris and 3-4 hunting dogs.

@GorgeRunner You get used to the smell of dead pig on the side of the road here, hunters choice is the Tacoma over here

Up on the mountains the state fly around in helicopters picking off the goats with rifles to cull them.

 

Airbag deployment likely would have totaled it...
