Whole front end except for hood and passenger fender had to be replaced. The grill is a ford lightning grill I got brand new off eBay for like $90.

It's all about how tall the deer is. Your truck hit the Civic with its bumper, the deers body and head hit above his bumper in areas not designed to take a blow like that.

My dad hit a 120 pound doe doing around 55 in his 2wd super crew,he dented the valance and took a small chunk out of his honey comb. Killed the deer but he didn't find it until the next day and the meat was already spoiled.
