Oooooffff
glad you’re ok. Definitely my fear in upstate NY

Thats why I play my music extra loud at night . Made a work trip from Malone back home to Saratoga paranoid the whole time now that the nights are getting chilly.

Thank goodness you didn’t roll it!
Like to hear what the assessment is.
Just finished putting back together my sister-in-law’s Edge, with similar damage.
Did the engine get hit?

Ouff not funny,i know what is it,i already hit a moose whit our Mazda 5 on the highway……

Darn blacktail deer! On the bright side it wasn’t an elk.. I live out towards Eatonville, gotta watch out for both…

 

[Darrell]

OUCH!!! Glad you're ok. That's one of the first things I'm going to replace when I get my Bronc, the front bumper.

A serious flex would've been to have posted this in the "what did you do with your Bronco today?" thread. I know you've got to be

After you affirm you're mostly okay, we kick you in the balls till you laugh.

Note to self...NEVER tell NVCowboy ANY bad news!

More damage than I’d have expected.

Good God! Are you sure it wasn't a Buffalo you hit? Or a Chevy Spark?

Crazy amount of damage but living in Michigan (#4 in deer/car collisions), its not suprising. Amazing and glad everyone is alright. Not sure how the airbag didn't deploy.

Same. A friend of mine recently hit a deer at similar speeds (slightly slower, around 55-60 mph) in a 2017 Focus and her car is still driveable (but did need a new radiator, I think because some of the broken plastic parts got jammed in the radiator fan and punctured the rad from the rear)

Lots of cosmetic damage, but she's still driving it, lol.

Need more wolves. They’re smart enough to stay out of the road.

I go for the aftermarket exhaust systems. I already have an axle-back muffler delete for my Bronco (as soon as it gets here). The Bronco won’t sound as good as my V8 F150 with a Borla system, but at least it’ll be louder.

Airbags not deployed is a good sign it's mostly superficial worried that the hood shot up the way it did (maybe pass that on to ford). the hit will piss you off for a while always sucks when they are still New.

As a guy who rides a ducati w/ a 3/4 system, loud pipes don't actually save lives.

The direction that loud exhaust noise goes is primarily backwards, and I can't imagine you are going to reverse into a deer at speed
