Just saying.... But sorry for your loss.
A few years ago two of my workmates took on deer in Jeeps. One buck vs. a Cherokee. Another took on a doe with his Liberty. Both cars totalled. The Liberty driver dislocated his shoulder and got into Land Rovers instead.
Fortunately my deer road has a 40 mph speed limit. Plenty of time for Bambi to cross the road and dine on somebody's flowers
