IDK, I think I would call it totaled and be looking for a new EX. Not sure I would want to go through all the crap to get it pulled back together correctly. but then again, I love my Ex and it would be hard to let go...

Wow! Thankfully the only deer I ever hit with my x was down in central Minnesota, I hit him just right (or wrong, from deer's perspective!) and all he left was a quarter size dent in bumper and a lot of blood underneath and on camper I was pulling.

I have the kiddo sit in the middle seat so he is more protected from side impacts. Can't imagine what would have happened to the front passenger or middle 2nd row occupant in that situation. Very Bad!

Makes me want one of those huge bumpers that goes up to the hood line with a round bar, and about a 6 inch lift in the suspension.

Did that look like a 2WD model?

A few things went through my mind when watching that:

1. That guy does not know what a single thing on his truck is called.
2. How fast was he going to throw the deer through the entire vehicle?
3. Either he nose dive like crazy or that was a big *** deer for the bumper and grill to not be touch much.
4. If it was caused from the massive braking and nose dive; what brakes was he using because I now must have them.
5. If the untouched bumper and grill was not from hard braking and it was just a big *** deer, I must know the location for my next deer hunt.

It IS 2wd, there is a shot in the video of the dashboard, and it only has the rear defroster and backup disablement (like that fancy word) switches..

Two days ago my buddy got his first deer, and the bullet exited via the gut. So, that smell is quite fresh in my mind...as I'm currently still at at "deer camp" (mobile home with high speed internet... Hunting the city boy way). Gives the video more "impact".

I HATE deer.

I've hit one at 70 MPH in a small Mazda sports car, and my wife hit one in my buddy's Audi A6.

I felt better about getting the Excursion and now they're out to get that. Time for a front bumper upgrade.

If that Ex is totaled out though, I'd like to contact the owner. I need a driver's seat and a 2nd row passenger side seat.

Reminds me of a radio program where a lady called in to complain...
WHY did the DOT put up all those Deer Crossing Signs on the interstate.
She was convinced the deer crossed there BECAUSE that's where the signs were put up. The radio folks keep asking.. you really think the deer are there because of the signs.. and she said yes, They should have put the signs somewhere else to get the deer to cross at a safer place..

Sometimes I wonder if humans as a species are doomed...

Yes, a widespread thinning of the herd will happen.

The deer jumped just before getting hit. I have seen this happen many times. Scary stuff!

I once watched a deer jump over the hood of a car as he was running across the highway and hurtled the car moving at 70mph.
