I was lucky - could have been real bad. Was doing 40mph a mile from home. Hit the deer in the neck with my left headlight - saw it but felt nothing. $2300 in damage - left headlight $300, left fog light $460. Price of stuff is amazing. Lucky no body damage. - have $1500 deductible - same insurance that paid $12000 to fix the house after the tree hit it. Car is a 2005 4Runner Sport - only 75000 miles - like new - at my age could be my last car - but not going to insurance for $800 - they'll get it back in spades.
The deer population is horrendous around here but they won't do anything about it. Two months ago a guy on a motorcycle hit a deer on route 4 - 1 mile from the George Washington Bridge - he didn't make it.
