Air bags did not go off. Insurance will cover everything after a $500 deducible.

After seeing how hard the deer hit (dead center at 50 MPH), I figured that most of the meat would not be any good, so did not bother to get some venison.

There's an optical illusion in the photo. I stopped it at the very edge of the shoulder. The shoulder has a slope. The truck only looks level.

The light behind is the county sheriff himself in person. When the entire county has only 15,000 people, even the sheriff goes out sometimes.

Now, if I had been tailgating the vehicle ahead, the deer would have taken out one fender at worst........
