The topic for this site is improving mileage yet all you've talked about so far is going from small vehicles to big ones, then adding battering-ram armour to those, in response to a perceived threat on your safety, with no evidence that the big vehicles provide any safety advantage anyway. Then you failed to contradict given statistics- which are presumably accurate- as to the real danger you are exposed to, which gives insight into the odds of encountering such a deer strike.
Forgive my confusion.  |
I still like this advice best:

It isn't luck as much as it is attentive driving and situational awareness.

Attentive driving does not necessarily mean driving slower. (Slower compared to
what?) Nor does it mean driving a tank.
Here's two suggestions that are a 100% guaranteed way to avoid all risk of being hit by a deer: A) Never drive or ride in a vehicle. B) Move to a large urban city where there are no deer.
Unfortunately, either can be as impractical as it is risk-free.
