You were unlucky. I have hit a couple of deer in my minivan within the last 6 years. Killed the deer and damaged my van severely. Both were about dusk. A couple of years ago there were two street riders killed after deer strikes.

It is a random event but not as unlikely as you might think. As you noticed there is nothing you can do most times. One leaped in front of me You think you could use your skill to avoid it or stop but that isn't much of an option, although one time I missed a deer by inches by swerving when I was at speed on big road bike.

It is boring but consider something more on the street.

Lastly become a hunter fill your freezer. Do your part to reduce the deer population.
