Be thankful that you are uninjured and no damage to the rig. There's not much you can do about deer except keep an eye out for them and avoid as best you can. I second the bit about not taking severe evasive moves with a rig, you are likely to end up in the ditch or worse. When it comes to saving the critter or yourselves. I vote for keeping people safe. I try to restrict our traveling to the middle of the day in deer country when they are less active. Early morning and late afternoon are heavy movement times for them. They also are not bright critters so they tend to do stupid things when faced with traffic.
