About a half a mile from home he jumped off an embankment right into the front of my truck.

At first I thought I only had a broken turn signal lens, but when daylight came I noticed the grill:)

I don't know the deer's fate, but he did run off...

That must have been a "robo" deer. Wow, really tore up the grill. Thank God you are alright though. Glad it happened in the truck and not on the motorcycle.

Does anyone know of a good source for those broken pieces?

I'm thinking that I'm very lucky that the impact didn't trigger the airbags:)

that's minor damage, gives the truck a little character :laugh: Consider yourself lucky as it appears you can replace the headlight and grill and be done with it. Even the minor car deer collisions I see on a regular basis are much worse than that. And had your bumper impacted his body mass, you might have blown the airbags. Happens frequently.

Dang, I'm glad to see it was the truck not one of your bikes. The impact doesnt look too bad and I second the ebay thought. They typically have tons of stuff. If you cant find it, maybe there is a local pick and pull yard? :thumbsup:
