Photo says it all

Sunday night, about 50 mph, and WHAM!
Only thoughts:
1) ****!! DEER!!
2) What the... oh there went the front tag.
3) So that's what Anti-Lock breaks feel like.
More Photos!
Had to use a Come-a-Long to pull bumber off front wheel. Still driving it.

Looking for a good body shop in Lawrenceville, Loganville, Snellville, Duluth GA area.
Want to put either Speed Scene or Trenz grill on it. Maybe even AAD F-1 Hood. Getting it looked at tomorrow by State Farm recomended place.

More info, photos coming.

 

At least your not hurt. My brother hit a deer and he got all banged up. Sorry to see such a thing.

 

Consider your self lucky. When we hit a deer six months ago, the entire front en was crushed. All the fiberglass... Gone! $2000 of body work later she is pretty.

But it is a good thing you didn't get hurt as well. Did the air bag pop?

 

sorry to hear about your run in....(bad pun) with a deer....

glad you are ok, and have as little damage as you do... poor deer, if only they knew to stay away from these dang roads... its always a shame to see that, or even hear about that...

btw, who got the deer? venicin anyone? mmmmmmmmmm

 

Ouch!

Been there, done that, in GA, but not in my L...

Georgia Fish and Game needs to up the bag limit on deer.

Was it in good enough shape to get processed? Do you need a big game tag on one if you hit it with a vehicle?

J/K I hate that your truck got hit but at least you're OK.

 

You should have left the blood on so all his buddies can see what happens when you cross a Lightning. Good kill!!

 

Sunday seems to have been a bad day for a few of us...

Glad you are OK, and I must say it held up very will concidering.
Did you get to keep the deer, some good venison would be a treat for the hollidays.

 

Look on the bright side..... At least it wasn't one of those brutes they have to look out for in the north-east. (It was a whitetail right?) When I was driving OTR, I used to see a lot of VERY large deer laying on the side of I-80 in PA every winter. I guess they are drawn to the huge salt lick. One of those bad boys could probably total you out and jump up to call a tow for you.

 

That sucks! Hope you can get her fixed before Jan 26th.

If you'd been in the boost, the scream would have scared it away--hope you get it back 'as good as new'.

I was hoping that it wasn't what i thought it was when I opened this thread..........BUT..........it was! This sucks, I have managed to miss TWO friggin deer here in Jersey. Not because of my skill, they (the deer) zigged when I zagged Time to let the hunters increase the "bag" limit

 

At least it wasn't a moose, huh, Tundra?

 

i almost started crying......i am sorry to see such a thing exspecially to an L. hope they don't A$$ rape you to badly on the repair.

 

A good friend of mine hit a moose up in Maine this fall. He WAS driving a 00 Chevy 4x4, now that the moose claimed that, he is driving a 01 Ford 4x4. That is making the change the hard way.
Both deer and moose aren't terribly friendly to cars.

 

Sorry to hear that...glad you are ok. Im surprised that the damage is that minimal. Did you have some braking time before impact?

Happy holidays
