To borrow/steal a thread title from someone else.....

I went out hiking today and it didn't start well - only about 3 miles from the house I was driving down the road and a deer (literally) jumped in front of my truck. I slammed on the brakes but there really was nothing I could do - I hit him square on - killed him - the amazing thing is other than it breaking my front license plate bracket, my truck doesn't seem to have suffered any other damage. He wasn't a very large deer so that also helped.

I wonder if my front hitch mount might have helped out a bit?
This just happened to us in the wife’s ranger a couple months ago lol ironically, we just finished dinner… Venison! ?

The bad thing is I couldn't find my front license plate - so I'm technically illegal in OR now - but I really don't care. If I get stopped for it, I'll relay the story.
Also from Oregon with a Lariat FX4. I found your plate and have been robbing banks and running toll booths.

We hit a big turkey in our 1994 Explorer with significant damage to the windshield and front of roof. We ate it.
