Yes. And...
There are certain scenarios I'm not going to spend significant time or money preparing for, and that's one of them.
We did have a police pursuit terminate with a crash right in front of us in an urban area once, with the suspect bailing on foot and guns out and shit. Since I always leave between my truck and the car in front, I was able to drop into 4LO, climb a curb, go over a sidewalk and escape into a parking lot. That was kind of nice.
I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
I was thinking of something understated like this.

If you want a winch mount, go for it. But the bumper will cost more than the insurance deductible next time you hit a deer, and a bumper like that is only protecting itself.

This is the reason if and when I replace my bumper it will be with the ARB. The other issue is the airbag sensors which ARB makes sure the are compatible with.
Increased mpg due to weight and aerodynamics is another issue but there is no denying the improved approach angles and sexiness..
There is a big trucking company (Prime) that put bambi bashers on all their rigs causing quite the stir among its bean counters. Aside from the initial cost, deer guards also decreased aerodynamics which really adds up on a fleet driving millions of miles each year. But it wound up lowering their accident costs more so - especially in preventing their drivers from swerving to avoid deer and rolling over.
