Stupid deer...

Glad your OK. Glad you got some venison out of it too. What was the estimated size of this animal? Looks like the truck took it where it needed to. I wonder if one of those Mongloid bumbers would have taken any damage?

Once a guy in a Neon wanted to race me (I had a Mazda 3 at the time). I ignored him and watched him take off in a blaze of glory.

About two hundred feet, a big elk jumped out of a ditch and totaled the guy's Neon. The elk flew over the guy's roof, landed on all fours but broke all of his legs to the knees. The animal tried, but could not run away on it's knees. I stayed as a witness (didn't mention his fast take-off), when a Conservation Officer (Animal Control) came up and had to shoot it.

Animal collisions never end nice ...

Glad your damage was fairly minor (compared to some I have seen).
Years ago one of my Canadian Buick brothers posted pictures of a terrible collision he had with a Moose. He was on his way back home from a Buick event and he was driving the car rather than trailering it. The car was totaled completely. The Moose tore up the front end, tore the roof off, crapped in the back seat on his way to wrecking the rear of the car. It WAS a very nice car too, a Limited. Those creatures ya'll have wondering into the streets up there are scary. I'm watching the road banks like a hawk when I travel through areas that a known to have deer.
