Wow that sux! I'm glad we don't have that problem here.

I suggest you put deer logos on the side of your vehicle with X's crossing them out. One for every deer you've taken out

mine are black and they hang on each side of the front plate. They might work if they have a clear flow of air straight past them. In this one tonight, the deer appeared behind a car going the other way that must of just missed it. It was on one of them dead runs. It is weird seeing it come straight for your face over the hood.

Hood, hmmmm I wonder if I can make it look as good as socal's with the blower out the top of it. It is already custom bent!!

you could mount them on the lower hole under the bumper and they wouldnt show there and have air to make them work.

did you change speeds, flick your lights or blow your horn?

I tell ya this makes 8 deer I have hit or been hit by. Starting to get unnerved by this one. Never had one hit the windshield before and go over the top.
Damaged:
Front fender, hood, headlight, drivers door, windshield, top will get looked at.

I was glad I had no roof racks. and the windshield held up pretty good for the hit. And Mike, Your stubby antenna got by with no damage, It passes the top crash test with a 4 star rating!!
Tom, You have had a lot of misfortunes of late wth the dear. You must drive a lot at night. Did all of these happen at night or before sun up? I hope that you will be able to have your car fixed back the way it was or even better. Looks like it just did windshield damage. I had a friend of mine total out a car when a horse hit his widshield.

Here is where they are mounted. Yes my foot was to the floor on the brakes and I welcome anyone who had time to flick lights ot hit the horn at a deer on a dead run appearing from behind a car passing the other way to be my limo driver.

I think the deer's like your flames. Which is why they are attracted to it. Tom i'm glad your ok. I hit a deer once in NJ with my old car. The deer broke its leg, but it slighly damaged my bumper.
