. The problems I have had hitting deer is when they dart from the side. This means the side of my vehicle gets the hit. Knarley bumper would not help. I would like one so I could hit orange barrels again

Happened to my Tacoma..............................







Twice!


One came down a runoff ditch from the top of a road cut, smack dab into the right front wheel well. Took out the headlamp and turn signal assemblies too.

Second one came out of a ditch, same basic thing but busted out part of the grille too.

Yippy Skippy.

Didn't even get to bring them home for dinner either.
