That's the first time I have made contact with a deer. About 20 years ago I had a buck jump over a guard rail onto the shoulder right in front of me. I hit the brakes and the rear end of the truck stepped out. The buck reversed course and disappeared back over the guard rail. Good thing, as there was no chance to maneuver to avoid.
20 years before that I had a similar experience with a yearling moose. It was close, with no contact between the moose and my VW Rabbit. By the time I got to the top of the next hill, my knees were shaking.
