Glad you're OK, Lance. As a veteran of many a deer hit, I concur. Stay in your lane unless you're sure the area you are going to avoid the deer is clear.
My last accident was a near head-on from another vehicle trying to avoid a cat.
The cat survived. The driver of the car ****ed up his leg something fierce, broke a couple ribs of mine, messed up my foot enough that I can no longer walk 18 holes without some major discomfort, and totaled both cars.
Smooth move.....
