Good luck to all the “deer hunters” out there……Caution lots of "gruesome carnage" pics...

Maybe a wrist-rocket would do?
Get one of these, works for me.

That really sucks, but good job on getting humpty dumpty back together again! (y)

This is why I like to have big, strong, frame mounted bumpers on my vehicles. I've yet to hit a deer, elk, moose or bear up here in Big Sky country, although a buck did run into the side of my F-250 a few years ago which cost me $2k in repairs. Overall I've been lucky, but something strong up front can mean the difference between spending the night on the side of the road or making it home.

The bottom photo is not my truck but I do have the bumper shown but haven't installed it yet. Another job for the spring.

Ranch Hand makes a nice bumper. Only negative I've ever heard about them is since they are bolted to the frame, if you hit a big enough animal you may bend the frame. The bumper doesn't give much.

I can still drive home with a bent frame. 😂😂
