I live in an area where hunting is illegal. The deer are very sweet, borderline tame, and I've never hit one in 10 years of driving around them. Go figure.

I never hit one in 29 years of driving until last monday..
That's too funny! I heard that for so long. Coming from small town Wisconsin where every guy hunts they all asked me if I had the deer processed. I never caught it. They just laughed.
I came very close to nailing one out on a regularly traveled country road. In fact if I didn't nip it's leg with my bumper I was within inches.
I have wondered if a brush guard would help at all?
Usually a good (read not a cheapo) brush guard will take a lot of the impact. We have a place up hear that makes one heck of a bambi basher and I've never seen one even bend after a hit.
My son's best friend was driving down the highway about 2 months ago and had a deer run into his passenger door shattering the window and caving it in. He stopped and there was a sheriff right behind him who pulled over. The sheriff got out and had to dispatch the deer.
Really ticked the kid off, he did his best to avoid any deer and one hits him!
Sounds like certain areas need to thin out there deer population and donate the meat to foodbanks, shelters, etc.
Oh but wait, then the govt would have to be involved and then they would have to inspect all the meat, put taxes on it, and delay the process until the meat ruins.
All the corn goes to make ethanol fuel, all the wheat goes to russia, all the cotton goes to china, and yet we have more wild deer than we know what to do with.
My son bought his first car a few months ago (2003 mitsubishi galant). Within 2 weeks he hit a deer. Unfortunately, he has a $1,000 deductible on his insurance (he's 19 so his rates are high) and he couldn't get it fixed right away. He has been pulled over 8 times for no headlight. We finaly just bought a headlight assembly and put it in ourselves (after much banging on the bent hood and fender). His overall damage was estimated at $2,900.
