NEVER try to avoid hitting a animal, especially at higher speeds. I can't tell you the number of times people have died when trying to avoid a animal in the roadway! Flipping over, hitting a tree, etc... I know, I wouldn't like hitting the animal either, but 90% of the time you will be better off not attempting evasive manuvers.

Glad to hear you and the Mrs. are ok.

Yeah definitely. One thing to add to this... try not to hit the brake. Braking causes the front end of your car to dip down a little bit, making it more likely that the deer will be scooped up onto your hood and into the winshield. If you don't brake, the chances are higher that the furry effer will just get bounced forward.

I effin hate those things too. One ran into the side of my wife's car, literally the driver's side, while she was driving through a wooded area. Gotta be one of the dumbest animals ever.
