You can always fix the truck. Very glad YOU are alright Coobie.

Quite the pucker factor Murph,I fully agree with your statement.Funny stuff though my good friend/hunting partner of 30 plus years was sleeping his first response was WTF did we hit.Of course us old bastards have to take a truck nap and do not get to see the REAL excitement.LOL..

Looks like the hit was low on the truck bumper and not in the grill. Either way, once a deer is hit by a vehicle, the meat is not worth much IMO. (broken bones throughout the meat) Glad you and your partner were not hurt. Jon

Glad you are ok, and amazed at how well the truck took the hit.

Sadly I've hit quite a few with big rigs, just deer not elk or moose or a horse. I've never really had any damage. It's my theory that they are trying so hard to get away that they slip and fall down. Hoofs don't have a lot of traction on pavement. Then again, maybe I've just been lucky.
