Go figure, right?
One deer was in Feb and dashed out between our car and the one ahead of us. ZERO time to react. It hit the driver's side fender and rolled tumbling down the entire side of the car. $3600 in damage.
The second was in March. My wife was alone, saw the deer, and stopped. A 4x4 with a light bar coming the other way spooked them, and they dashed in all directions, including into her passenger side door and fender. $1500 in damage.
Fortunately our deductible is $250, but our insurance agent didn't hesitate to send us a very nastily-worded (and rather pointless) letter.

chaadster: Sounds like a nice Audi. I just picked up a new GTI myself, using our TDI buyback money and the sale of my Mini Cooper to pay for. Can't beat having a 2 month old car with 1500 miles and no payment.
Great riding out here, but boy are there a LOT of deer.
