Blimey, I was lucky when I hit a deer then.... I'll dig the pics out in a bit.

What exactly was the damage?
 
bent the sub frame, knackered the radiator, new bumper, headlight, foglight cant remember everything..

couldnt find the deer after it happened but found it the next day.. someone had cut its head off and dumped the body by the side of the road.. I later find out that you can get about £300 for them as people stuff and mount them.. not sure i could have decapitated it myself tho =/
 
This was some the damage on mine.

I live just off J22 on the M62, on the moors. My dad hit a sheep in his company Mondeo, wrote it off! Suspension and bodywork damage all down o/s! I always flash my headlights at oncoming cars when theres sheep in the road, never hit one but had a very near miss, ABS was in full swing. I stopped and the sheep just carried on walking towards me! Beeped my horn, and they soon scarpered!

This happened something like 9 hours after picking my 182 up! :(

Replaced it though as soon as the insurance paid out with another RB :D
