Was on my way to the bar and the deer jumped out onto the oncoming lane. Stepped onto my brakes, didn't swerve since it was in the oncoming lane and I wasn't about to swerve off the road. Deer trotted over, I was probably going 10-15mph at this point (as opposed to 45 before braking.) I clipped the deer with my right headlight. He did two twists through the air and landed, got up, and booked it away.

Got to the bar, looked at my front car, no damage at all!

Sounds like your ability and clear thinking saved both your property and a life. Just my opinion, but I think you should be proud of how well you handled that.

lol my thinking didn't seem quite clear at that point, though I'm sure maybe I was just thinking of the few essential thoughts to get me out of the situation as safely as possible.

Deer are such a strange species - it's like they've evolved to die easy and not sure how that somehow makes it work for them.

They breed very easily. Lose a fawn? Make another!

Glad you came out unscathed, TC. I've seen cars totaled from hitting deer, not even going very fast. Worst thing is when they get up and run away.

Even if you do kill them, the meat can't be salvaged quite often.

A deer isn't a domestic animal though.

Thats true. Depending on where you are, swerving might not even damage your car...

Ive had two deer run out in front of me. One absolutely smashed my moms car, destroyed her front-right quarter panel, and the other I managed to swerve around and allowed it to clip the back-right of my QX-4. It did almost no damage but the bumper came unclipped. Deductibles are $300. I hate deer. Im not allowed to post a Louis CK clip about how I feel about them here.

Unless it's a moose, the largest of the deer family. Crashing into a moose is bad news. They are built like tanks.

First, I read DAD. Then I thought you meant hope you don't D&D, as in Dungeons and Dragons. And thought that was weird. Then I remembered that people sometimes drive under the influence...

While possible, considering that the deer was able to get up and take off, and that the car was undamaged, it seems unlikely that the damage was severe. Even broken bones, so long as it doesn't include 2 legs, can be survivable, even if it does put the animal in a significant disadvantage.
