No airbag deployment. The funny thing is that I just got back from NY state
hunting deer the whole week before. I did not get one with the gun but with
the truck. The deer I hit was a button buck. Less then 65 lbs.

And it sounds like you're OK which is the most important thing... Just
curious,
did the air-bags go off?
Tom

P.S. Was it a buck or doe? :-)

Dodge definitely made the bumpers on the Daks to stand up to some hits. I
hit a deer this weekend squarely in the front of my 4X4 going over 40 MPH.
The deer went though my grill, into the AC and pushed the radiator into the
fan. It sounds bad but other then the mechanical pieces I just mention, all
body and bumper parts survived undamaged. (Except the grill). I am just
waiting
for the estimate.
