Deer hit - question on bumper mount/crash-crumple zones.

[HideoutBronco]

Hit a deer on Saturday and have an appointment to have it looked at but was wondering if anyone would have an idea of how bad of damage with would be?
The only body damage would be PDR fixable and the bumper looks like it was slightly pushed back on the passenger side. What kind of impact/crush/crash zone would I have damaged?

here are pics of both sides as a comparison.

Probably didn't hit hard enough to crush the front section otherwise the bumper would be caved in. Most likely it just got the mounting plate behind the bumper. From what I can see there isn't enough deer crap splattered all over to indicate a "good" kill.

If it did these are replaceable.

Give me a good overall shot of the front and I'll ball park it.

Wow. Exactly what I was looking for. Will post a couple more pics.

Here is a video of the bumper. Zero damage that I can tell to the bumper and only twisted a fog light. Plastic grilled was 100%. I think I just clipped the deers butt.

Hard to tell but my guess is the brackets I circled in the first pic, possibly the orange strip (M2DZ-17232-AAPTM) below the grill, right fender (M2DZ-16005-A) fender reinforcement (M2DZ-16144-A) grille (M2DZ-8200-EAPTM or -CAPTM depending on camera setup) and possibly headlight (M2DZ-13008-A).

If it does need all of this stuff you'll probably be $3,000+. Definitely get insurance involved or find a body shop you trust that will give you an estimate so you can figure out if it's worth making a claim or not.
