I'm okay but somewhere off Ridge Road a deer isn't. It ran out in front of the truck (from a thick bushy area) between 10 and 20 feet in front of me. I did brake as hard as I could but there wasn't all that much stopping room (and also maybe trucks don't stop too quickly). So I'd hit a deer (not enough to stop the truck or to kill the deer, right away anyway - it got to the other side of the bushes - but I do know I hit it because I heard the thump and felt a bump). When I got out at Mt Olive station stop to look at the front of my car, all you see is a crack (not huge) in part of the grill and some deer hairs on the grill (no blood, just some short hairs). I'm shaken up.
