I thought I would update the thread. I hit a full-sized female deer (doe) at 70 mph yesterday. The picture below shows the aftermath. The brush guard was pushed in towards the passenger headlight and fender, but I pulled it out some before taking this photo. You can see the passenger side still appears pushed in a little. It was a direct, head-on impact and the brush guard saved the vehicle. There is no damage of any kind to any body panel. Needless to say, I would recommend installing a brush guard, not a bull bar, if you are on the fence about it.
