Late last year three deer came out of the woods while I was driving along a side road at night.
I hit one dead on with the front of my truck (2001 GMC Jimmy). T-boned it good. I knocked him 10-20 feet down the road. I had slammed on the brakes when I saw them come out of the woods, but was still doing 30+ mph.
The second one hit me in the drivers side door. (He T-boned me) His tail end went over the hood and off the front.
The third went in behind me and missed me completely.
The front impact damaged the grill and the driver's side headlight. The second deer dented the door and scratched the front, side and hood.
All three deer then ran into the woods. I hit the one pretty hard, it had to have suffered some pretty good injuries.
It was covered by insurance and the whole thing came to nearly $2000 in damage. I had to cover the first $500 for deductable.
So the damage is in different places, but that may give you and idea on damage costs.
To add to the drama of the story, my wife was 7 months pregnant at the time of the accident.
