Hit a deer....help asap!!

Apparently my truck got in the way of a deer running full speed and darting straight in front of me out of nowhere. Anyways....most of the damage is on the drivers side front, fender pushed in slightly as well as bumper. Tire is hitting the front when turning right. I was thinking of trying to pull it all out myself but then I saw some paint chipping off the fender and the more I look at it....it's pushed in pretty good.

Front fog lamp was broken loose but is still intact. Are these 1 peice or bulb replacement only?

Got some pics of the carnage...? That'll help us give some better advice and/or color commentary.

Good thing nothing worse happened.

Bummer on the wreck bud. Those dang furry woodland creatures NEVER cross at the cross-walks that the state installs for them...

You did not mention whether or not you have insurance. My truck is fully insured to avoid the problems of trying to fix it myself. I want it to be fixed like it was from the factory. Also, when I have a problem like this, my insurance company provides a free rental car. Just my two cents worth. Hope you can get it repaired. Semper Fi
