Oh dear....

What he ^ said. If you have to fix it put something else on there it will cost the same amount in the end and you can get something different.

Sucks man. I've hit 5 deer in my driving carear. Toatled out my brothers car doing 70 passing a car and center punched a deer, A month ago with the company van hit another one and that did $3,600 in damage. Deer on the road suck, They sure do fly when you hit them though.

That sucks man. I had the same thing happen to me when I was in college. I was going about 40MPH and I saw something move but I wasn't sure what it was because it was so dark. Then all of a sudden I see a deer right in front of me, staring right at me. WHAM! I hit it and it goes sliding like 20 feet, gets right back up and heads for the wilderness. I'm sure it curled up somewhere and died shortly after
Thank God it wasn't a person.

well I got the estimate from the insurance company it was right around $2000, and I have to pay $500 of it, but I have already started finding a lot of the parts cheaper than what the insurance man figured up, and so far I have around $800 left before my deductible, the good thing is now I get a new bumper with out a dent in it, from where I hit an expedtition in the ****
