Well last night I got a little bored and couldn't sleep so at about 3 am I decided to take a drive through town. Apparently a few deer decided to go out for a stroll at the same time, and we crossed paths. I took out one with my passenger side headlight, it shattered it all and also broke my fog light. They were running pretty fast and one actually ran into me and put a big dent in my front quarter panel. I was pretty upset but it could have been a lot worse. The speed limit was 45 and I was doing about that when I saw them, and slammed on my breaks the best and fastest I could. We checked the small clearing on the side of the road the next day and didn't find any dead, but I could have swore I got her good.

Damn man, that sux...totally. My bro got a deer about 3 months ago in his BMW. Some deer just get really injured, run away and die in the woods. Hope you have insurance. Usually as long as you didnt swerve and hit a telephone pole/tree, they will cover it.
Not to steal ur thread or anything, but i hit a turkey last year w/ my Jimmy. Stupid thing shattered my windshield. Those things are pretty hard when you hit them at 65 mph.

Yeah I hit a deer last march. I was lucky all it did was bend in the side of my bumper. I took a 5lb sledge and a 2 by 4 and straitened it out. The deer wasn't so lucky though. She was running the same direction i was driving and tried to cross in front of me. I saw her right as she steped infront of my truck. Broke her back hip, and she died about 10 min later. I felt pretty bad since I could hear babies in the woods moving around. I guees in the end i was lucky, if it would have been my S 10 or my Accord, instead of the tahoe, it probably would have destroyed the front end.

we bumped a deer here (no damage to the jeep or the deer) a few years ago and since then I put nice fat frame-mounted brush guards on both Jeeps, so those will take some impact before I smash teh car up on the next deer.
not practical for cars, but great for trucks and SUVs.

Yeah I couldn't see putting a huge brush guard on a mustang.

certifit sucks there parts arnt very good at lining up or fitting right. i hit a deer a couple months ago with my beater cavilier all it did was dented the fender in and rolled over my car and i backed up to look at it and the deer kinda had a hurt leg but i dont think it was much more than a bruise and it looked like that thing was laughing at me but if i would of hit that with my mustang i woulda chased him down till he was dead.
