I hit a bird

So I made a topic about this not long ago and tried to hold off and not do it but when driving during hurricane Irma I hit a huge *** bird and thankfully no damage was done to the grille.

I know now some of you will say replace the entire bumper and everything.

But it I would like to keep my truck bumper stock so I am asking those whom have ran brush guards like the ranch hand version. Will these legit protect against birds and deer from destroying the grille etc?

the stock bumper is pretty damn thick I don't think a deer will damage it too easy the grille is my main concern

from birds they work just as well as full replacement bumpers, unless you take a bird to a fog light


from deer, no. better than stock but not up to a full replacment bumper

I had a seagull hit my windshield at 70 mph the morning after Harvey rolled through down here, no damage to the windshield, but needless to say, he did not survive.
