Hit one deer, one hit me

Driving home Friday morning at 12:45 a few mph under the limit two deer appeared from my left. I hit the skidders and hit the first one at about 10 mph launching him (?) 15 feet forward. D.O.Landing. His running mate ran into the fender. Two female cops were about 1/2 mile behind and stopped to assist. While we were talking the 2nd deer woke up and kicked me in the shin as we were doing that cop stuff and proceeded to kick the car about 6 times as he/she was getting up to do, and did, it's version of 'hit and run'. Or is that 'hit and hobble'?
The deer was mad at me and the stupid car it ran into!

I finally got this car '84 300 CD' road ready and wouldn't ya know.... I was only hurt by the kick - small bruise - and am glad that the FLASH of the deer coming through the glass did not happen!

As for the car:
Broken headlight door and corner light.
Broken headlight mount bracket that mounts to grill piece.
Destroyed fender.

Trying to post pictures so this post won't be 'useless' but can't figure out how, yet
