Glad you didn't have any major damage, our deer are a bit bigger here and many a car has been written off along with a few people... On the plus side we found a fresh one last christmas and salvaged about 60lbs of venison.
It is amazing what extra benefits that a car designed to be functional rather than stylish has. I'm sure that your car is also far superior in a crash situation now too(not that you need to test it!)
