Default Hit a deer: Need a new bumper!!!

So I hit a deer the other night and surprisingly it did next to no damage but launched the deer probably 30 feet into the other side of the road. Needless to say I want a new bumper now. Any suggestions? I do not plan on ever mounting a winch but I am having a hard time finding one I like, unless there are some that come with plates to block off the inset for the winch. Thanks

I have my eyes on these just because they are not too ridiculous in price. I rarely off-road the Jeep because I live in Ohio. I will never rock crawl but probably explore or trail ride in the future.
-Smitty Full Length M.O.D.
-Warn Elite Bumper
-JCR Crusader (don't like that it's not pre coated)

Get a Poison Spyder front bumper and lay the smack down on the next deer that wants to play chicken with you!

That is a nice looking bumper, exactly what I am looking for also, but in the full length version

The Warn bumper you're looking at looks a lot like the Highrock 4x4 bumper - the Highrock will save you a few bucks. http://www.quadratec.com/Assets/Installation/145811.pdf

Looks nice but I am looking for a full-length one not mid-width.

Oh my, what do we have here!? I like that one a lot! Now it's a toss up between that Highrock one and the OR-FAB Full-Width one.
