Is this a good deer guard?

I encounter many deer and I am a safe driver but you never know. Would this stop it? And would it bolt right on to my bumper?

I'd do a stinger of some sort. Like the Smittybilt stinger. Being angled forward and taller, it'll be less likely to bend back or let the animal come over top of it.

Arb bullbars are designed to hold upto hitting Kangaroos at hiway speeds. Any bumper with a .120 wall Dom brush gaurd will hold up to a deer

This what I did on my XJ its held upto a car hitting it no livestock yet but the bar is angled forward in the center

I have the JCR full width Vanguard bumper on my JK specifically because of deer. I feel very confident that this particular bumper is going to protect my jeep.

I "cheated"...I went with a more narrow bumper and the stinger to HOPEFULLY push the deer UNDER the Jeep. I also armored up underneath with a few bolt on pieces and some gussets...granted gussets don't do much but better than nothing. I also have ACE rock rails and now have Rubi rails also.

IN THEORY ....the JEEP will JUST be bloody/ dirty....unless the deer runs into the side than I am screwed!!!

I had a friend from Alaska, where they were plagued by collisions with moose. He would occasionally drive down to Wi. He drove an elongated full size Chevy pickup with homemade steel flatbed, big lift and tires, looked like a tank. He had a steel and rebar bumper, but the moose still flew over the top of it after hit. So he added rebar spears sticking straight forward from the bumper, with sharpened points. His theory was that if he hits another moose it would "stick" onto the spears and not roll over the top of the bumper. It hadn't been "tested" yet.
