If any of you guys or dolls live in or near 'animal' zones, there is a small gadget you can pick up that might help. It's 'sort-of' a small ultra-high-pitched plastic whistle type of gadget that you install near your front grill and it warns animals that you're zooming by.
They don't always work:

I've had those on all my vehicles but one....my 1998 Jeep Cherokee. Almost 3000 dollars in damge to that by a deer. Definitely worth the $5 - $6 dollars they charge at Wal-Mart for those nice little whistles.

Wow, what a downer 
If any of you guys or dolls live in or near 'animal' zones, there is a small gadget you can pick up that might help. It's 'sort-of' a small ultra-high-pitched plastic whistle type of gadget that you install near your front grill and it warns animals that you're zooming by. Someone told me about that after I told them that I NEARLY hit a deer on a dark road one night driving home from a gig. Since I moved here in the country 4 years ago, I've runned over a poodle, a cple of sqirrels, a partridge, a 'large' dog, misc 'suicide' birds, and a close call with a huge buck with the old Buick. Geezzzzz, and I LOVE animals. Anyway, good luck with your front end

As they say, "sometimes they work and sometimes they don't!"
I have my second hood, left fender, windshield and headlight. Rr Pass door skin and Rr quarter. The PDR to the roof is starting to show slightly.
Daton, yours looks as good as new again...

Enjoy a brand new front end, although that's a hell of a way to fix rock chips...[/QUOTE]
Yeah but the last time I washed it I didnt have any chips yet.
I'm more worried about the damage under the hood.

i'm convinced it is the stupidest animal, i have hit 2, once in a van. It literally ran into me not the other way. The next time was in my buddys suburban towing a boat. the thing slammed into the driver tide door and ended up slamming into the boat and righting it off! Stupid Bambi!
