Sorry to hear about the crash, Murdered.
I've hit 3, or actually they've hit me, including one that ran into the side of our '04. I remember jumping out of the car afterwards armed with a snowbrush, ready to beat the crap out of the stupid doe that was, of course, nowhere to be found. I was one pis_ed off human!
BTW, deer whistles don't work other than giving the driver a placebo effect.
