Durable front bumper?????

I have been looking around for a little while now trying to decide on a good front bumper. I would really like to get a Safari one. My new concern is alot of people down here in Southern Ga have been hitting deer, and boar like crazy recently and I would like to buy something that would be able to take a hit like that, and do minimal damage to the bumper or rig. Is that even possible? Also what kind of reinforcing could I do? I know the odds of me hitting something is really low, but I already had two close calls. Any recommendations are welcome. Thank you

Planning to build your own?

Looking to buy one??

How much can you afford to spend??

The best bumper in the world is not going to help if the critter runs into the side of the truck or if you hit it on the front and it flips up the hood into the windshield.

Which seems how it always worked for me front end was fine just needed a new windshield .

I have an ARB and I absolutely LOVE it! Very well built but it is pricey...

I guess it's a case of you get what you pay for.
