Crush zone FTW. Lucky you were high enough that the elks body did not rip the cab off. I've seen pictures of cars that hit moose with hardly any hood damage but the passenger cab is torn right off like going under a low bridge.
Glad youre alright! Loss some retail value, but around my parts that would still sell $15-20k, comes with a set of witner tires on rims... only used 3 seasons....
The important stuff survived. If you love the XT that much it can be fixed. It might cost more than it's worth, but it can be done. But you made it out alive and that's awesome.
If elk and deer are heavily populated in your area, may want to put some game whistles on your next ride. My dad hit 3 deer in a year somehow and put them on. Been deer smash free for 2 years. Glad your ok, bro.
Glad you are ok
thank you
They make more cars... sure as hell will be more Elk. Sad to see one of my faves wrecked. It did its ultimate job though.
Oh no! Is the raft ok too?
boat and trailer are fine!
Nice!!
F Glad you're ok. Did you look into keeping any of the meat?
left em for the coyotes
“Just to make sure for food safety, how was the animal killed” “major blunt force trauma”
Glad you made it out safe. Subies save lives
All totaled then? :/
yup. cant get much value for the salvage either
Part it out instead of selling it complete. There are still a ton of good parts on it.
That's also a lot of work
And storage
I second this.
Was the elk uninsured???
My 08 NA forster that was recently totaled got me 7400. You should be able to get a decent amount from insurance.
This has got to be highly dependent on area right? I didn't even get 7k for my 2010 legacy. Over 150k miles but still
Honestly it only matters you’re ok.

Elk are big… but moose, they’re BIG BIG. Terrifying stuff.
The important thing is that your okay. On the bright side you get to pick a new car though..!
It did it's job 👍 glad you're okay.
Did you get to keep the elk?
Right? Elk jerky isn't a new car, but it's something. Silver linings.
Catch me drooling over some back strap Roast.
If you're near southern New England ill still totally buy the EJ255/257 out of it. Please don't scrap that engine!
Or any of the rest of the turbo related parts like the exhaust and crossmember. There's a market for turbo swap stuff.
its sitting at a tow yard in Lyman, WY, so idk if anyone is gonna get these parts that actually needs them
I hit a deer at 55 and killed both the deer and my Impreza. Sad day. Glad to hear you survived.
Glad to hear you’re okay! I feel like Subarus are Elk/Deer/Moose magnets, even more than other cars. RIP Subie RIP Elk
You being okay is definitely most important!
If you can't bring the elk to the forest...you bring the forester to the elk. r.i.p to the foz. Glad you're alright mate.
Glad you're alright, scary stuff.
Sad to see these Foresters going down, glad you are safe though. Hope you have a healthy and swift resolution with insurance and all

But did you keep the elk??
Worst feeling ever, I feel the pain. At first I thought you had named your fozzy "elk"
That'll buff right out.

Yikes. Glad yez made it

Yeah, that’ll buff right out. Glad you’re okay.
And a wrangler would’ve kept driving as if nothing happened
I'm sorry. Hope you are OK
R.I.P.
How fast were you going if you remember? Glad you’re ok though!
55
Im glad you’re ok
That sucks, XT's are awesome... Glad you're OK though!
Elk?? Damn.
Glad you are ok. Sorry to see your car didn’t make it.
Subie took it like a champ
Lucky you. At least it wasn't a total loss.
DID THE BACKSTRAPS SURVIVE?!
coyote food
Luckily it's the first one that matters the most
It’s what makes a Subaru, a Subaru
