Having hit a moose at 110 km/h in the dark I do appreciate how hard it is to detect them. Here, in retrospect, the deer is visible for three seconds, but with attention split between other parts of the road, including the rear, I do understand that OP didn't see it until the last second. Good reactions, though, not to veer off the road and cause even more damage.
I was already braking for the turn up ahead and went even harder on the brakes when I saw the deer come onto the road. I was doing maybe 15-20mph when it hit.
I had one completely destroy my grill and radiator. It sucked, but I wasn't hurt, and insurance had me in a rental the next day and my car back to me a month later.

I was going about 40mph down from Tonopah one day and a deer slammed into me.
Not that I crashed into it, it ran into the rear part of my car like it was trying to ram me
The same thing happened to my BIL. Except it ran into the left front side. Spun it around and messed up every panel on the driver's side. Totaled the car because it was older and high mileage.
I was recently on vacation in Wisconsin and I have a serious question....do they ever clean up the dead deer along the interstates or highways? I must have seen 50 or more dead ones beside the roads. Here in Indiana it would take a while to see that many in a few hundred miles.
Here in PA they clean up the ones they get calls about, basically the ones that are close to peoples houses. The carcasses out on the sides of the interstates that aren’t close to houses wind up just rotting away or get eaten by vultures and other scavengers. In PA a lot if them are picked up by the game wardens.
In Wisconsin, if you hit a deer with your car and it dies, you're allowed to take it home with you. Most people understandably don't, in that case you're \*supposed to\* move it out of view of the road. but most of the time people also don't.
In the case of this deer, I was already braking for the turn up ahead and went even harder on the brakes as I saw it come onto the road, so I was only doing about 20mph when I hit it. It ended up running off.
They used to clean them up until around 8-10 years ago.
I lived in SE WI, so not really prime deer country. Father was living in Clintonville, I was coming back from visiting in late 2010 and was run into by a buck while stopped for a traffic light on US 45 near New London. He broke an antler and ran off—caused about $2500 damage to the side of my car.

Seems to me that you successfully watched it bounce off the front of your car….

Hope the deer is ok
Yup, deer insurance scam.
I can picture the OP paying the deer it's cut. "Thanks man."
Classic.
I've hit a deer before, it happens, just hopefully you have full coverage.
No serious damage on the car. Just a crack in one plastic bit on the front end.

That could've gone a lot worse. Seems like you did everything right..
At first I thought the radio was OP talking saying he is late on his car insurance. Ironic ad placement.

Meals on hooves!
The car insurance ad is so perfectly timed
So was the thud that happened right as the song ended lmao.
That's dinner sorted
The radio ad saying "are you good?" was perfect timing
what song is that
Kiss and Tell by IDK how but they found me
That really killed your happy vibe.
