turn it in, i actually hit a dear leaving the jeep dealer in my old truck playing hardball for the price, one mile away smack, thank god it wasnt in the new jeep, but i asked and hitting a dear is considered an act of god, and therefore not a penalty
happy insurance claiming

fresh meat,you should go and try to find him/her.with a hit like that the deer might not be too far in the woods. "its deer season"
i dont know if it is legal to take a deer by means of vehicle but the freezer will love you,just throw the deer across the hood. um um good!

The cracks in the paint aren't on your fender are they?.... because if they were you wouldn't have to worry about any rust on account of they're made out of plastic, haha obviously!
Good thing you're alright though. Probably can't say the same thing for the deer but things happen!

Doesn't sound like the damages would even be close to $1,000...so how/why would you make a claim?

one Sahara flare, painted, is close to $600.. it will easily hit $1,000 I wouldnt claim it because it will show up on your VIN.. me general rule with insurance companies and making claims, if you can afford to pay for it, pay for it... insurance is for BIG stuff...

He has a $1,000 deduct.

$600? who/why?, Who has priced that out? You can get a full set of aftermarket flares for less..

And I don't think 2 foglights are $400....

If you're deduct is $1,000 and you make a claim of $1,001. You get a check for a whopping $1
