Yep, drainage ditch gully with an embankment along route 202 near the DE border. Ironically enough, right by one of the PenDOT Deer Crossing signs. We got lucky and it bounced off the hood back onto the road side, died immediately. I lost my hood, windshield, driver door, front and side panels etc. Frame was fine though. The cops who helped us load the carcass into a relative's pickup truck to be gutted and taken to the processor told us that somebody had died there a couple years ago when a foot went through the windshield and impaled them. We were hella lucky and we knew it.

For anybody wondering, when a deer jumps on your hood it does look exactly like those signs until impact at any rate. Everyone involved has about enough time to yell the curse word of their choice, including the deer.
