At the end of November, on my way home from work one Friday evening, a buck jumped in front of me all of a sudden and I hit him briefly. This was only about 5-6 weeks after getting Smur
Fitte
Luckily there were no casualties and I'm really glad it wasn't all that bad. I have a dash-cam and here's the video - it was getting dark though, so quality isn't the best:

And the best pic - a little souvenir - which apparently is the best thing to happen in these cases - proof of deer accident so your insurance rates don't go up next year:
I'm with Belairdirect and everything went very smooth. I'm not considered at fault, they covered the repair and cost of a rental car for about 2 weeks while it was at the car-shop. Had the pay the deductible, but still glad I didn't get hurt or wreak my new car.
