By the way, $4500 in Kentucky = $6500 in NY!Just to give you an idea. This deer strike cost about $4,500.00 and it was completed within a couple of weeks.

Keep hoping someone will come up with a decent brush guard as I live in the MO Ozarks which means its not IF you hit a deer but WHEN. I have brush guards on all my vehicles except the Maverick so I don't drive it after dark until the after market world catches up with the Maverick. I would guess your insurance is into it for around $5k.Last night on the way back from work I hit a six point buck. He jumped the ditch and I caught his back end with the front drivers side of my maverick. I’ve had the maverick 11 months and put on 27,000 miles. I plan to take to a Ford approved collision center. Let me know if you have any other tips, I have submitted a claim to my insurance and am waiting to hear back. I’ve heard parts take awhile to receive and are expensive. Any guesses on what this is going to cost to repair? I’m expecting a new bumper and headlight at minimum. The gap between the hood and fender also have me concerned there could be more.

Lived in Michigan most of my life, two years ago moved to SC.
Read that in 1999 Michigan sold around 800K deer licenses, last year around 250K.
Less hunters, more deer.
What I like with my Maverick is the Auto High Beams, so for the most part, I let the truck handle the 'brights' while I can concentrate on looking for deer and other varmints.

It's early in the snow season, so body shops are not punishing consumers too bad yet in the north. LOL.
In all seriousness, the damage is very little. It's a top bumber fascia and an XL/XLT headlight. I was thinking the gap between your fender and hood was actually quite good. I'm going $3500.
However, I can't tell if he rolled into the fender and pushed it in along the cheat line... If he did that, I'm going $4500.

oof... starting to get really bad around me as this time of year there is only 7 hours of daylight and it's dark when I leave in the a.m. as well as always foggy. Always. Can't see shit without fog lights in these things and tbh, I don't think the headlights are the greatest either. Better than some but that's not saying much. So, I have a minimal deductible. Only hit one and it was on the rear quarter panel, never saw it again, but I've had to put down more than I can count from people driving off after. One very recently as it was trying to crawl back into the road.

Sorry dude, glad you're okay.
Multiply antler points by 1,000 and add 2 grand or so for diminished value. But it falls under comprehensive coverage so your deductible should easily get buried. Good luck.

I swear by the deer whistles too. I haven't had any deer jump in front of me unless they were being chased by a horny buck. In fact the deer on the side of the road look up at my truck and I see their eyes before I see their body and have time to slow down just in case. I think they look good on the front bumper.

Your hood doesn't have the gap his has - it will be far more significant.Mine was similar bumper cover grille + shutters behind grill & headlight wasn’t known until they took off fender tabs were broken and it was cheaper to get new fender than small refinishing $4500-ish

There really isn't a great way to get a brush or bull bar on the front of a Maverick. It's a whole lot of plastic and not great front sub-frame to try and hook up to.
How do you keep them working? The ones I've seen get plugged with bugs or snow/ice depending on the season.I swear by the deer whistles too.
