I had one of those big does hit me a month ago, ran right into the front
fender and creased the entire side back to the taillight. Felt like I got
t-boned by a motorcycle! Luckily it was my 94 Dak and not the 95. The damage
on your truck josh isn't really that bad, remember, it could have been much
worse hitting a deer head-on. Sometimes they come through the windshield!
