I read somewhere that there are some zoos around that will accept a fresh carcass to feed to the carnivores. However, once they have aged a few days, they will no longer accept them.

I am with you Doug, feelings are mutual.  HOWEVER,  on more than one occasion I attempted to harvest the tenderloins, but they were nasty, urine, intestinal contents intermixed throughout, hmmmm. Let the scavengers have it!

A shame to let the tenderloins go to the scavengers...

The problem with hitting them then running them over is that the guts, intestinal renderin's, urine,  and the like plus bone splinters go throughout the meat quickly ruining everything.  Hence, about all one can do is pull the carcass off into the ditch and leave it for the eagles and coyotes.  At least it doesn't all go to waste.

Deer whistles don't seem to do any good and they cause pan to lots o other wild and domestic animals.

Tell them they can always get you one of these:
Barricade Brush Guard
The link is for trucks up to 2014. They also have links on the page for one for the 2015 and 2016 F-150s. I didn't look to see if they have one for the SuperDuty trucks.

haha, my airbag has never deployed and it has one, when I got the truck in 1998 the airbag light on the dash was flashing on and off.  18 years later it is still doing it!  The guys at work have threatened to do that to the truck, at this point it would look like some of the football helmets with all stickers on them.  The owners of the golf course I work for haven't gotten me a new or newer truck because they know that one hit would probably toast a new truck.  This one has a heavy duty chrome bumper that is probably 3/8" thick steel, and it sits quite high as well, a bit higher than the new ones.

Jato,
You ought to get some sort of deer hit stickers for the front left fender, like the WW2 airman had for their airplanes.  You have earned them and it would look cool.
Remind me never to drive anywhere with you should the opportunity ever occur.
I don't think my new f150 will stand up nearly as well as your truck has to deer strikes.  It would probably blow an airbag and break my glasses.
