basjoos I rememger the video of a race car hitting a deer with no sign of damage to the car eventhough the deer went high into the air. I suspect that the low round front end actualy trips the animal then the gentle slope of the top and side of the front end "gently" moves the animal away. I have plans for modding the front end of a Aerostar van that hit a deer at about 40mph and damaged the front end. I plan to make it a semicyrcle in the horazontal plane with a sloped top end to protect the radiator and the next deer. I will keep your design in mind. Do you get a saving wild life award?
