Just to let everyone know, a deer tried to catch a ride with me the other night. Might I say it was atleast a 6-8 pointer. Needless to say the deer got away and I had to be towed. Busted the front end up real good. Popped the hood up on the windsheild, busted the windsheild, buckled the fenders, busted the radiator. But good news is, no air bags came out. Just put a small dent on the front tag. all and all $3,000 worth of damage. I am really surprised it wasnt totaled. Hope to have it back before end of month. Everyone Watch out for dem deer. They can getcha good.

Glad you're all right... A few weeks back 2 deer ran parralell together in front of me... Both stopped dead... Hit the breaks and was too late... Ran over both of them (I could feel them scraping under my butt underneath the car)

Fortunatly I had the safari bar on and they didn't jump up, they both went under neath, so the only damage I had was a busted off road light and spent the next morning hosing meat and blood from under neath my truck...

You'd be amazed about the amount of muscle tissue that can get stuck into the prop shaft....
