So on sunday night around 11pm a deer ran into my talon.. I was ONE MILE from my apartment in IL coming back home from the weekend of being in MN.
I was driving 40mph going the speed limit looking forward for any pot holes (bent my rim on this same road) then all of a sudden there is a deer in my face smacking the windshield. It hit my fender spun around and it's butt hit my door by the handle. It ended up denting the fender and denting the door under the handle with a little crease.
The most retarded part about it is that I was in the middle of the city. Not any deer within miles.. Each side of the street was surrounded by buildings. I don't know how this deer ended up even getting to the street but it did and I happened to be in it's path.
So after 18 years of my car being original paint, all body parts straight and very, very clean all feels like a waste..
I popped out the dent on the fender but it's wavy and kinked a little in 2 spots and I haven't really tried much with the door. Anyway I will be at the cookout and you guys will be able to see the damage if you'd like..

Here is a pic of the fender before I popped it back out:

Never saw the deer after it hit me. Didn't even look back. I pulled off into a parking lot to check out the damage after swearing every word in the book. I was pissed.

I think you mean you ran into the deer. By the looks of the dent, you might be able to push that dent right back out using your hand. I have done it before to a car or two. If the pait is ok, PDR might be able to fix the dents without repainting.

Dang, your lucky, not too bad, I rather have it hit my fender than my frontend. Good luck on the fix.

I already popped the dent out as said above. It's wavy cause I couldn't get it to pop out all at once. The deer ran into the side of my car, I did not run into it. Unfortunetly I only have liability so it's not covered..

You got REALLY lucky, could of been a lot worse if the deer would of hit the front end. Could of damaged your intercooler, radiator, bumper, hood, and maybe even the front windshield.
