Some of you guys are really into vehicles. I've got a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee. In the course of one year, I bagged two deer with it (best hunting season I had). Is there any type guard to mount on the front that will minimize damage when I hit them. (Deer are running amuck down here).
-
Have you looked into brush guards? Make sure it's one that welds to the frame.
-
A lot of deer in your area. Try a welding shop for a brush guard, like Tyler said. A lot of that stuff is custom work based on make, model, year, so the shop would know best.
-
Yeah, a brushguard. Ranch Hand makes a really stout one. Don't know if it's available for a Jeep though.
That's truly fast food though...hehehehehe

Believe it or not, one of the local deputies, when I called the first hit in, came out, got the deer, and had it processed .... and probably told his buddies he bagged it!

hehehe ha, I can see that. There just is a smiley to use for that one.

wpruitt, I do custom work on jeeps, www.rnrfab.com. What I can tell you is anything you get for your jeep short of a full bumper will bend back into your body anyways, that and Cherokee's don't have frames, they are a unibody.
That being said, there are heavy duty bumpers and grill guards available for your jeep. Just google cherokee bumpers, off road bumpers, etc. Or hit your local 4X4 shop. Be prepared to shell out some $$$$.

And the problem with that is...?
I talked with a deputy tonight at the local "Kwiky-Mart". He told me that a guard on the front might do more damage to the frame than just hitting the deer.
He also said he could retire if he had a dollar for every deer hit he had worked where the vehicle has those little deer whistles mounted on them.
Ahhhh ... the joys (and perils) of rural life

That's how we hunt varmints and coyotes around here

OK thanks Paulie

The beauty of it is that a hunting license is not required when hunting deer with a Jeep.
-
Yeah but the license is most likely cheaper. :(

True ... Thank God for insurance - and the fact that deer hits are now treated as uninsured motorist hits and will not effect either your rates or insurability.
