DEER VS. 4TH GEN MAX

driving home today on a backroad, headlights on, with my high beams and BAM, huge buck meets my grill...

Took out my left front corner lenses, bumper lights, blew 60$ sylavania ZXE bulbs, 3 months old, knocked my radiator out of placement, buckled my hood, pushed my left front bumper support about a inch back

Sooo in conclusion,

The retrofit pauses, the meet and greet car meet at Tony vos, and my cars down and out for a little bit

Sucks to hear what happened. It could have been worse... you could have hit a horse.

You guys in deer areas need to get deer whistles installed. I have a friend of mine that does delivery/courier work, and in the last couple of years he's hit a few of them. He bought deer whistles and installed them, and he hasn't had any more problems.
