Yes, deer do hit your car. The one that hit me ran in front of the car, into the ditch, turned around and ran smack into the passenger side door. But my favorite was a deer on a four lane street in the middle of the city. Was driving home my DH from a medical procedure. He was still groggy from the anesthesia, and said "dear". I was "what?". He said, "no, deer.". It ran in front of us, I missed it, the car going the same direction in the left land missed it, but a car going the other direction got it. We had a bow hunting season in town--no limit.
