That happened to me a few years back. 85 mph 2003 Lexus vs Thumper on Highway 10 outside of Odessa Texas. The Lexus won only in the sense that no one was hurt. The cars drivers side quarter panel was ripped clean off. The deer came over the guardrail and before it could hit the ground I sent it back over the guard rail.

New tractor trailers can’t take a front center impact from deer like the older ones could.
Had to do an “oh crap” maneuver around a deer in a 65 zone, semi behind me smacked it center dead on.
Lights, grill, radiator, all gone.
If it had been an 80’s manufacture, the deer would have been hamburger instead.

You were very lucky! I do not like driving at night b/c of all the bambi roamimg around ...but I used up the last of the venison last week ....could use some more for the freezer. But not at the cost of a collision.

Several years ago, a doe crossed the road in front of me; I hit the brakes; she had made it safely, all the way across; for some reason she decided to come back; that's when I hit her, or she hit me [suicide?]; luckily I wasn't going very fast at that moment.
A cop came, and took her to a 24-hr vet, for which I was very grateful. When I called the vet the next day, he said he had to put her down, b/c 3 legs were broken. I felt badly.
Felt bad that I never got the venison. Yet thankful, only the headlight was broken.
