About 5 years ago, I was driving in my VW Rabbit after dark on a country road, and a doe bounded into the road, crossed it and then stopped on the edge with her rear end still in my path. I swerved left as far as I could (didn't want a head-on collision in the left lane) and smacked into her. She was seemingly fine - and bounded away. My entire right front headlight assembly was crushed, the radiator grill bent, etc.
Before this had happened, I had attached "deer alert" whistles to my car (I do a lot of driving on country roads) [
