First Buck of the season

Have had good 'ol Bambi's get hit by my semi truck and the cost isn't any cheaper for repair to them as it is w/ cars/pick-ups. Bumper alone around $2,000 not incl labor. Last "hit was around the 7 grand mark. Oh, Freightliner Cascadia. Talked shop mgr into getting deer bumpers. He got 2 full size and just a few 1/2 size ones. I was lucky enough to get the 1st full size and wouldn't you know haven't hit 1 single deer since it was put on!!!!!! Despite having a lot of Cascadia's, shop does not have deer bumpers on all of them. I had heard it was because they cost too much. Really? From what I gather, the bumpers are around 1200-1500 bucks. Guess the company feels it's cheaper to spend thousands to repair 'em VS next to nothing.

To further explain the full size VS half size, the full size has bars that extend up and around the headlights and plower portion of the grill. Half size only protects the bumper and just above it in center by the grill.
