@farmerman,
Holy crap, that sucks. Glad you survived though (looking at the bright side).
Coincidentally I had a deer encounter last week as well. But not nearly as bad as yours.
I was driving home from a tennis match at 10pm and deer came bolting out of the darkness and struck the side of my car. I only had a split second to see it's face with its eyes bugging out and its hooves flashing at a full out run before it hit me. I was going 50mph and the deer probably struck me at 40mph (not sure how fast a deer can run when scared).
Luckily it only hit the side of my car and not the front. It did about $3k of damage to the car, but everything was still drivable.
At the time it happened I was pissed, but I remember thinking it could have been much worse if it hit the front of the car it could have ended up in my lap (just like yours did).
Now I hate deer.
