#1 and #2 SO smart. When I was a teenager one of my closest friends and her brother were killed on their way to go skiing. She saw a deer on the road and swerved to avoid it. The car hit a Greyhound bus and veered into the ditch where the bus fell on top of the car. Her parent's and older brother have never fully recovered. It strongly impressed upon all of us who were new driver's: NOT to risk our lives to avoid killing an animal.
But a deer can also kill you instantly if you hit one head on, so you might want to rethink that. I grew up in West Virginia and although I live in a major city at this time, we were constantly surrounded by deer and having one go through your windshield is a good way to end your life.
Just swerve to the ditch or go off road instead of into on coming traffic. This works unless you're on the side of a mountain.
