An insurance appraiser told me if you have a choice take out either the front or back legs. Never straddle the deer as it will roll up the hood and through the windshield.
Things happen fast though and you don’t always have a choice.

I've always heard, "If one jumps out at you, hit it don't swerve."

There are far heavier things you might hit if your swerve: an oncoming car, a tree, the jagged rocks at the bottom of a ravine.
