A what?????? I haven't seen one of those in CT for uhhhhhh.....well, forever! We just have deer....and lots of them to navigate around. You should see the damage they make. We see them regularly around here, dead along side the road being struck by a vehicle. My advice is to get the dent fixed then move where there aren't any armadillos, alligators, and pelicans to worry about.

Anyone with experience popping dents out of the bumper?

I plan on taking off the bumper tomorrow and use a hair dryer to warm up the inside of the dent and attorney to pop it out. Is that a good idea?

And tips and advice will be appreciated.

yep, i would use my heatgun and pdr tools. should massage out fairly well. can you reach that area from the fender well? if not, i would just work it out from under the car.
