Curious about why you didn't file insurance. When my 98 was T-boned by a pickup truck, I filed an insurance claim. The rear passenger side door and running board were damaged but no damage to the frame. State Farm totaled out the SUV but I was able to buy it back for $400. The body shop guy who gave me the original estimate then worked with me and got a used door, reattached the running board and threw some paint over any scratches. Ended up with reliable daily driver for my daughter, and money ahead.
Hitting a hog would have been a comprehensive claim, and I don't THINK that it would affect your insurance rate. I've been involved in a couple of comprehensive claims in the last few years and they didn't affect my insurance cost. The only downside that see is that your state might require you to get a "totaled" Title, in Illinois there is no such thing so I got to keep the original title. I'll drive mine until it goes to the junk yard so even the tile didn't matter to me.
again just curious, your situation could very well be much different from mine.
