I know this is too late for Jeff... but a lot of good tips for others!

188,000 miles on my 84 Westy, and only 2 times did a deer come close to it... owned since 1987.

Subject: Deer Hit

<SIGH> After 37 years of driving, my number came up. I hit a deer about 2 hours ago in my '85. Bashed in the right front corner, lost my turn signal and the bumper end cap. Upper grill cracked, lower grill not damaged. Pushed in far enough that I'm going to cut it out and graft in a panel from a donor van. I can fix it myself for less than $75.00, but it's the time it will take that I don't have. Thinking about getting a hunting license... Jeff
