Don't worry. A deer can do a lot of damage to a car, but the chances of
you getting killed from hitting it are slim. I suppose you could suffer
a broken jaw and loosened teeth like a friend of mine did when he hit
one in Virginia a few years ago. A moose is another matter. There are
at least four times bigger than deer and they have long legs that buckle
on impact and that 1,000 lb plus animal comes right through the windshield.

Not on purpose. ;-)
FWIW, I was almost hit by a deer while bicycling a couple years ago. It
was during the spring. The car ahead stopped to let some deer cross the
road. Three stayed back. The car left and two of them crossed. The last
one was nervous about me and worried about being left behind. I waited.
She finally dashed toward the road, running through some wet grainy
snow, leapt up over the berm and into the road where he hard little
hooves slipped in the pavement and she slid to within a couple feet of me.
