Of course but I've hit a few deer at slow speed and had a couple actually run right into my vehicle as I'm stopping caused some minor damage.Whow if you just got a bent license plate you are lucky. Deer here cause serious damage to vehicles when you hit one.
Whacked my first one at high speed last summer prob 70mph as I was getting on the brakes saw him beside the road for a split second crouched monster buck in velvet, please don't I thought while pushing on my not so good brakes, BAMM, dead center of plow truck slid diagonal for a ways skidding tires and then it flopped of in ditch other side of road... I wanted to take it home and process but was very needed at work that morning so hammered back down. Hardest I've ever hit anything and no damage hit the plow frame/pump.
So those 'cow/deer catchers/brush guards' expensive but prob worth it.
