Absolutley try to find some fur and get your witness. Ouch. Not one, but three panels thonked!

Wow that sucks, very unfortunate

That's crazy! But I'm glad you're okay. :thumbup:

Sorry bro. That is really bad luck. Hitting a deer is what scares me the most when I am riding my motorbike. Are these deer whistles really ineffective?

I think that if you have full coverage it shouldn't matter if you have a witness.

Happens a lot in Tx. Ins should be fine. Sorry about your plight.

you should be OK since you have a witness ...

sorry to be blunt, but that deer went to town on your 4.6, eh? 3 panels... :( as long as you're ok, though, that's what's most important ...

don't think I can say much for that deer, though, a deer running INTO an X5 is like taking a civic and running it into an 80's lincoln town car

I bet Dent Wizard can make that look like new!

Sorry this happened to you, glad you are o.k. Maybe the dents can be 'pulled' out without pait etc instead of replacing anything.

The same thing happened to my brother in his A4. I live really in the middle of the woods.. We have forest for about a mile around our house. I honestly see deer every time I drive up my road at night. One time a deer ran into the A4 driver's door. It was a little one, only left a tiny ding. New Hampshire is deer country, for sure. They're EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately, we also have bigger problems to worry about. Moose. Imagine how scary it is to be going 70mph down the highway and have a 2000lb moose charge out in front of you! It happened to me one morning last year on the way into school.. I was driving down the 393 (I had just gotten onto the highway, was going about 65) and A moose had just run across the eastbound lanes and looked like it was going to have a nice, friendly meeting with my car just as it got into the left Westbound lane.. Thank god for BMW brakes! I slowed down enough so he was in the right lane by the time I went by him. He made it all the way across without harming anyone, which is lucky because it was in the middle of the morning rush.
