I'm not sure what the Bullbar you linked to will be attached to. However it's probably going to be worse for aero than what you have put together yourself.

There was someone recently in the forum with a puck-up truck, which I think may have been intended for towing. They came up with a blast plate looking air deflector (semi-grill block) which they imagined would toss the air up and over the roof and trailer in tow. It might be worth looking into, for educational purposes (not to copy), many good comments and observations. I'll post it later if I can find it.
I am sorry, I think I miscommunicated, that picture is not from my truck, but my inspiration. However I think it would work pretty well. In your redesign, would it rake forward or backwards tho, as I think if it was angled forwards, it would have a chance of flipping the deer up. I would want the uppermost part to strike first if I remember.
