    Yikes, at least the damage wasn't too bad and you're okay.

    Bad day, hit a deer and got pulled over... Double Whammy!!!! Hopefully you didn't get a ticket when you got pulled over for speeding

    Man, glad to hear it wasn't worse and you're OK! I too wonder if the bull bar helped minimize some damage..I sure hope so. We got 'em on our cars too, lots of wildlife around here...good to see it might actually work! You need a name change...deermagnet2

    Glad you're fine and you got to complete your hike.

    Looks like you fared pretty well all things considered.

    I would ask if you kept the deer for the venison for your troubles (and not to just let it go to waste), but it doesn't look like the poor guy was all that big.

    The last time I hit one with a car, the 70 lbs. of meat from the processing took a little of the sting out of the whole ordeal.

    Looks like it could have happened in a worse place though (no ledges or ravines on that side of the road), so that was at least a good thing.

    I had the same thought.
    Venison stew - yummy.
    Good to see you are ok Mark, and that the VX will recover.

    Looks like the VX fared much better than the deer! Glad you are alright and were able to salvage the day.

    Looks great Mark.

    What's the story on the front bumper cladding being a different color than the fender?

    It was that way before, just wondering if the front was newer?
