yea thinking about it now it couldve been way worse...insetad of me squaring up to the deer with my bumper i swerved and just barley clipped him but still at 40 - 45 mph that'll still do some damage.

Welcome to the club sir. I hit one directly square and if I had not ducked he would have probably killed me when he came through the windshield. It hurt the car bad but I got away with out a scratch..

glad your ok...my mom just hit a deer in my truck yesterday...deer jumped and missed my bumper and grill, didnt scratch my hood at all...hit smack dab in the middle of the windshield...some how the winshield flew into the cab as a whole, hit my mom, lucky ...deer plowed in my whole roof and part of the edge of the door where the window rolls up on the drivers side...which that window shattered....shes ok, she was goin between 30-35 in the middle of town...wierd...im glad she wasnt on the highway or the deer prob would have went through the glass and she wouldnt be here...also glad she wasnt drivin her 350z which was in the shop actually...took my truck in and picked up her car...


edit*
for those of u that know me or have seen my fquick, it was my 01 ram, not my new 06 dakota n/r
