I am not sure yet what I am going to do. Last Saturday after sundown I plowed over a 4 point buck that stepped out in front of me with less than 30 feet to go. So he became ground venison. Bent my bumper up, broke my grille and Ford emblem, twisted up my license plate, bracket, and lower valance.
Get estimate and it is $1,037 for a bunch of plastic and the bumper.
So my thought is buy a replacement grille and a grill guard bumper replacement. So that next time the idiot deer decide to step out I keep right on going and not even bat an eye.
The joys of living in the country. Wouldn't trade it for anything else. Just need to prepare for future confrontations. Because I am certain there will be more.
