I hit a deer tonight for the first time ever. :(
It was just a small fawn.
In the end all it broke was the chrome grill surround and the deer's leg.

Anyone got a good line on a grill, or just start scouring the junk yards?

Id check the junk yards, or ebay every once in awhile you can find a cheap there.

sorry to hear about it, I hit one in my KJ before and it took my grill out too

I got a propane grill in the back yard and a smokey joe in the garage.

Oh, wait..........you meant for the Jeep, not for the deer.

In that case search here.

A smokey joe, huh? :P
I have a WSM and love it.

Thanks for the link.
Did some googling last night.
Looks like it wont be as expensive as I first thought.

I had posted this in the off topic board last week.

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/jan/23/semi-plows-over-herd-16-elk-interstate-70/

A semitruck slammed into a herd of elk on Interstate 70 early this morning, triggering a car rollover and shutting eastbound lanes near Evergreen.

Sixteen elk were killed in the grisly accident that jackknifed the smashed big rig near Beaver Brook Drive.

Highway workers and fire crews used snowplows and water-and-sand trucks to clear the carnage and clean the roadway.

"I saw on-scene picture and it looked like a massacre ... very nasty, nasty scene," a listener posted on ScanAmerica.us, a Web site for people who monitor police and fire radio traffic.


No humans were injured.

It was pretty gross," said Evergreen fire Dispatch Supervisor Christy McCormick.

"They said that semi really took the brunt of the impact. It pretty much caved in the semi, because of the impact of that large of a herd," she said. "There was carnage all along the side of the truck."

WSM, had to look that up. Looks nice.

Smokey Joe is just easy to take with you.

Wonder if anybody recovered what they could of the meat.
