Have you ever hit a deer, or what's the closest you've come to hitting one without actually hitting it?

Deer are everywhere around here. This past Saturday I was driving on a state road at about 60 mph and I saw a deer go running across the road about 75 feet in front of me. I hit the brakes as hard as I could, because there’s always more than one. Sure enough, another one starts across the road. I braked even harder, but I was sure I was going to hit it. Somehow it made it across in front of me, but I think I touched him with the side of the car. It was that close. It gave me the shakes. Have you hit one?
