I was a mfg rep for 4 years and had all of NY and NE as my territory...LOL. I went two for two lol. Bagged them both, cost about 15k total in damages to my car,
Your lucky if you had minor damage and the deer lived..I hit them both at high speed. Did you know you can actually keep the deer and harvest it if you hit it lol.....I could see a salesmen in his suit gutting a hit deer with his buck knife lol...

It's clearly because they put the deer crossing signs in the wrong place.

Yup, happened once...deer ran off. Damage was over $2K, took the deductible hit and then reduced my comprehensive deductible.

I heard about somewhere (not sure if it was in NY, NJ, PA) where you can get on a list for this sort of thing. If the person who hit the deer doesn't want it, the cops or whoever responded starts calling people on the list. If you can't come get it as soon as they call you, they move to the next name and so on.

When I hit the moose in NH - they Trooper told me there was a list..
That night 3 moose were killed on the roads.. He made a comment that they all seemed like there were parts that were still good on all of them.. Not sure what that meant... I think I kinda do... haha..
When a couple guys in a pickup pulled over to see if I was OK.. they went down into the ditch and checked the moose out and then promptly told me they'd give me a ride into town... Seemed like they wanted me gone to take the carcass..

I find it hard to believe that the caller was serious...

I hit a deer in NJ, and Game and Fish happened to drive by. The warden asked is I wanted a roadkill permit for the deer. Since we were driving back to NC, we declined.
Just saw this on mtbr:

Totaled a suby on one a number of years ago. I usually can see the glint of their eyes as they are in the brush about to bolt out, but this one just came out of thick brush onto the road in front of my 60 mph subaru. It was just a 1 lane in each direction state road. I pushed the deer so hard into the oncoming traffic the deer went under a pick-up truck in the other lane and took out his drive shaft.
Deer was toast on the spot. The police are usually trained to put them down if they are suffering.

That looks like a Kudu.

Must have been a race, notice how no one batted and eye about it, just kept rolling by laughing.
Yeah, you can see a number on his bars as the bike hits the ground.

On many occasions when I have seen a deer in my way I have been qble to stop or slow enough to avoid a accident. What scares me really bad is the person behind me that is not paying attention and nearly runs me over.
This summer I rode my motorcycle down to NJ to visit some friends. On my way home it started to pour. A deer darted out into the middle of a 2 lane road and stopped directly infront of me. I could not go into the other lane because of oncoming traffic, but was able to come to a complete stop right before the deer even in the heavy rain. The scary part was the car behind me that was not paying attention had to go off the side of the road or else they would have ran me over. Motorcyle being rearended at speed by a full size sedan does not end well for me.
