That's no fun. I was in WV two years ago and was driving my dad and my friend back to our campsite in my dad's car. It was down a long, twisitng road, with lots of blind corners. Anyway, I went around this tight hairpin and just as I began to accelerate out of it, a deer ran across the road in front of me. I slammed on the brakes but hit it anyway. It somersaulted over the front of the car, hit the ground and ran off. We were only doing about 25 when I hit it. Amazingly, it only knocked out the grille of the car and the Toyota logo (which ended up being over $100 brand new). It also put a small dent in the hood, but it wasn't the first (and it's not the last, we live under a very old and unhappy tree). I was going slow, but my dad was still very pissed at me. I doubt he would have done any better.

That's my story. I think I was one of the lucky ones. A few months later, a deer ran in front of me, but if I had slammed on my brakes, his buddy would have rammed the side of my car.
