They use to in VA, tell you what to do, the best advice I ever got was steer where the deer was before it jumped it most likely wont be there when you get there.  I did it at 70 mph on I81 and the deer scrapped the roof of the Datsun B210 and ran off in the woods unharmed, the doe jumped OVER US, as I was recovering my composure and had slowed to around 50mph I had cars pass me honking and waving, and cheering! Feel free to ask my wife about it as she remembers it better than I do, I was to busying praying I would miss the deer.

  Deer in Michigan? The state has  2 million deer !
  And a budget crisis, so getting them picked up is not
  a high priority. One of the articles recently in the local
  Detroit paper was about a retired guy who does it for a hobby.
  He averaged 3-4 a day. Counties that pay someone budget like
  $50 a deer to get them picked up.

  A group called the Michigan Deer Crash Coalition (I couldn’t make that 
  name up) reports that every eight minutes a car and a deer collide in 
  the home state of the Big 3. The group’s tally suggests the bill for all 
  these accidents could be as high as $130 million.

  the rules--
  Police or DNR conservation officers may issue you a permit to keep the deer.

  This is the only state that I know of where the teens are taught how to 
  hit a deer
  in driver's ed... and what to do with it when they hit it.
