What a pain in the ass. :(

I hope you get can the parts in a timely manner. This is one of my greatest fears while driving right now. Buddy of mine just hit one with his Dodge two nights ago, and hit one before that last month with his Chevy.

Wow that deer did some damage. Hope you're safe and ok and from what I've seen these Rangers sure do protect the driver and passengers.

I came awfully close myself last night. Jumped out in front of me. 10’ was all the room I had. Locked them up and he sensed danger and bolted. Super pucker factor.

Sucks you got that much damage from one encounter. Did the tire tread separate?

Been there, done it two days ago. Luckily I did it with less speed and less damage.

Did the insurance inspection today and the bumper is cracked on three places and fixtures are done for. Now waiting for parts.

Looks like you got quite a lot more damage there. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Sucks!
As long as You and all occupants are Safe!
We're in the middle of the Deer Rut? I think? Deer are moving all over the place
I'm in a sort of suburban part of NYshitty and even here they're crossing highways like crazy-seeing more than usual-carcases too.
Drive attentive out there folks!

My son got one 2 weeks ago in his new Volvo. Same type of damage. They are very active now and it just happens so fast. Glad you're OK. OEM collision rep parts for Volvos are very hard to get now he found out. Hopefully your parts are available in a reasonable amount of time.
