Moose Bumpers ???

I had a truck turn too sharp as they were pulling out of the parking spot next to me. The trailer tandems got hung up on the deer guard and drug the truck about a foot or so. I'm pretty sure it would have swiped the front of the truck off and damaged the radiator if the guard wasn't there.

Had a headlight assembly put on and it was good to go. I always thought they were too small to do much good but it has saved me a lot of time.

 

Had a Swift truck cut the corner to short in a Flying J and had there trailer wind up busting up my hood pretty good. The guard stopped the trailer from totally taking off my hood.

 

Animals run faster than Prime trucks run, so, most likely the answer is no.

 

Nothing large enough for the guard to hit. yet.

A minivan was tossing kittens out the window while going down the highway... They changed lanes to get in front of me, tossed a few out, and then took off.

 

I was paced by a dove once.

 

Suicidal deer in MO late at night earlier this summer, mile or two short of my exit. Truck was #### near new.

Nobody behind & was able to slowly drift to lane it WASN'T in. Usually do not have opportunity to give 'em a chance, but I WAS able to in this instance. Go figure, at last second the stupid ### jumped right in front of truck. Must not have had a anything left to live for.

Cracked bumper in middle of deer guard opening towards driver side, broke fog light & housing. Deer somehow spun around truck, bouncing off driver side trim & steps, knocking whole assembly a bit loose. Saw spot between steps & couldn't quite figure out if it was deer snot or crap. My bet was on crap from the last look on it's face before it went under.

Deer guard paid for itself in one hit. Without it, damage would have been much more extensive. When I buy my next truck, however, it will definately have a larger/beefier guard installed.

Oh yeah. I've now given up my shotgun & rifle for deer hunting season. Seem to have much better luck with the truck.

As I tell all my students........

"Deer...........it's all in the follow through."
