    Unless you hit a moose it will probably take most of the blow and pay for itself the first time you hit a critter.

    A few years ago we had a driver that hit a grizzly up there... The load of eggs survived... The truck did not. Lol

    I had that one run into me last week. And in the last 2 weeks ive dodged atleast 3 deer and 2 bighorn sheep... how much does something like that cost and im guessing it has brakcets onto the frame ?

    Depending on truck I think some attach into the tow hook holes... Others bolt to the frame

    How did the bear do? Did it eat the driver? Cut him up and make an omelette out if him?
