Ill get some pictures up tonight. It really isn't all that much visible damage. Adjuster says 1100 in damages. Labor and paint are expensive!

Yeah, the paint is what kills ya. Not only are you paying for his labor, but you're paying paint costs on top of that. If the fender is being replaced or the damage is near an edge of the panel, then you'll also likely be paying for yet more paint time to blend the adjacent panel(s). Good luck w/ a speedy and quality repair.

It may had been. I was on the interstate when it happened I know that all that I could do was hold on until I heard the body being crushed under my wheels. Ugh, what a sound..

That's what mine was when a deer hit my LF fender.

This is what you call hitting a deer. Not for the squeamish...

The reality of it is there is no time to react. As soon as ya see them it’s too late. I hit one years back in our Isuzu rodeo. It really freaks you out when it happens. It took out our whole front end. You got lucky.
