Granted, cheap insurance....
And that's the key. For $8, if there's a slight chance it works and might prevent me from hitting a deer (which I never have in 34 years of driving)... and if it's not a hideous addition to my vehicle, I just might do it.

WOW!!! Hope youā€™re okay. Bronco doesnā€™t look too good either. Hopefully the deer is just sleeping and wakes up.
I don't know very many deer(s?), but that looks like a very uncomfortable way to sleep, you know with it's head facing its butt and all. :unsure:

I am very sorry for your loss and am happy that you are safe and sound. Its not everyday that you hear of a deer getting run over by a horse.

We need @Mabett to come up with a clever mount onto the trailsights!

No it didnā€™tā€¦ donā€™t know how. But there is a shit load of severed wires there
It seems to be happening a lot that front airbags are not going off. If they didn't go off for your front end collision, I don't know what it would take. But, I am NOT a engineer hired to design airbags either.

Dude I wish. I was on the freeway for over 4 hours waiting for a tow. The deer was soo jacked up couldnā€™t do anything about it. The positivesā€¦ no one was hurt, the bronco is a beast, itā€™s just a car!
I wish that deer would learn to only cross the street at the Deer Crossing signs. It would make things so much safer.

Ouff not funny,i know what is it,i already hit a moose whit our Mazda 5 on the highwayā€¦ā€¦
DAMN . . . . . . . Yep, think that word sums up your whole hitting a freaking MOOSE with a MAZDA situation. A Miata might have slid right under as I hear that MOOSE are tall. Glad that you are alright.

Just remember when talking to insurance "The deer jumped out in front of me"
Well shoot, I hope that the deer jumped in front of him. If he drove into a field and chased it down just to hit it with his Bronco, that ain't good.

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.
Just saw the MI was ranked #2 in 2021 with 132,387 meeting between vehicles and deer! :oops:

Rangeley Maine: as we were leaving my wifeā€™s college roommateā€™s wedding reception we came upon a jogger. ā€˜Who would be running on a dirt road in the middle of the woods at 11pm?ā€™ When we got closer we could make out an impressive set of moose balls swaying to and fro approx 5ft off the ground. Thankfully he was running away from us (hence our view of his package) and veered off the road into the forest. We were driving a 1990 Honda Civic coupe at the time.

Insurance companies will use your wording against you. "I hit a deer" means you're at fault. "A deer jumped out in front of me" implies there was nothing you could do and it is covered.

I know, I was attempting to lighten the mood of the situation.:rolleyes:

It's like a 1 in 39 chance you'll hit a deer or something ridiculous. Take that lottery odds.
