I'd go insurance, I think that's no fault comprehensive and shouldn't effect your rates...but you might need evidence that it was a deer.
Damn varmints...

Good call- there's sure to be way more damage than what you listed to repair. That's why having full comp and collision is the way to go with insurance.

When I saw this thread was about hitting a deer, the first thought that crossed my mind was that the OP lives in Virginia. Deer are like squirrels over there.
