Yeah, deer are completely unpredictable so you can't really do much to avoid a collision other than slow down. My area has an abnormally high population of deer because people feed them. Fortunately they usually stay off the roads, but there are several hit here every year. My only close call was while I was driving my car and a young buck started to cross right in front of me. I was able to nail the brakes and slow down just enough to allow him to cross in front of me and avoid the collision.
That's a real worry. A friend of mine finally sold his bike after hitting two muledeer within a couple of weeks, out here in the high desert.
