Hit a deer tonight :(

This should most definitely be covered by insurance. I know some policies are very picky and will only pay for this under comprehensive (meaning a larger deductible) as opposed to collision, due to it being an animal and not necessarily another person in their car, or any of many other insurance-related reasons.

Since you said you were going the speed limit but managed to puncture your radiator, I'd guess 30-40 miles an hour?

That said, you're lucky the deer became lunchmeat and not you. A friend of mine hit a large buck and totaled the car completely. It was a small rural road with a 55 mph limit so the deer came in through the windshield and broke his arm.

Good to hear you're fine. Forgive the random story.
