The tree is not going to fall down or move unlike the deer upon impact.
Now if you hit the deer and then spin out of control and ...well...hit a tree or fall into a ditch..or roll over...well then I can't argue with you there. total loss would be expected.

Back on topic.. Glad no one was hurt.

my ex had a patient that hit a donkey it went through his windshield and he now is 25 and lives in a nursing home =( ...that always scares me when i hear about a deer accident, my ex at the time hit a deer and bc she hit the brakes hard he just rolled on the hood and fell off if not she would have gone through the windshield for sure....im glad everything has worked out for you and you still have your health =)
Deer AND Tree
Sry, that sux man. Hey think of it this way at least you avoided the deer otherwise...
you would have killed an innocent animial ... ? NO! You could have hit the deer AND the tree!!
and that would be bad x2!

I hate deer. I have nearly hit them on numerous ocasions. When deer season opens I go just to kill the useless beasts. They don't taste all that great and usually i just give the carcas to whatever friends I am hunting with. Before anyone flames me...The deer I happily killed yesterday may save the car you drive today.
