Having lived the last decade or more in a highly deer-populated area, I'll add this....

If you end up in that horrible situation where a deer is frozen in your headlights....turn them off and honk your horn...that unfreezes them pretty quick. I know it's scary to be braking in the dark and actually turn off your headlights, but it's better than a collision...
