No, the deer was dead, or about to die anyway, even if it was still alive, you couldn't really have done anything, and your going to check on it wouldn't have eased its passing in any way.
Just a point of note though, I believe that if you are about to hit something on the road, you should actually speed up, if you won't be able to stop. Partially for the sake of the animal, better to have a swift death than a drawn out one, and partially for yourself, you are more likely to be injured at a slower speed. Someone might want to check this, it might just be something that people say, but I think it's true.

I know of people who have had their big fancy pickups totaled from deer collisions. Yes, totaled.
Furthermore, trying to avoid deer (or other animals) very often leads to more severe crashes, or at least more expensive vehicle recovery. Truck drivers are specifically instructed not to try to avoid animals in the road. Deer (etc) really are a serious threat to vehicle safety, and if your area has a large deer population, you should drive accordingly.
Forget the deer, you are alive - and that was *not* a foregone conclusion before the collision.

I like animals but there isn't really anything you could have done. Also it may have become dangerous if it was dying as someone said. I don't think you are heartless if you were you wouldn't have been worried enough to post this here surely?
Not really. There was little you could do for the deer, and it's an animal that wasn't even a pet.
I would've been like ''Oh shit! i killed a deer!'' but i'm sure it just depends on the person, really. I don't think you're a hearless bastard since, well, theres plenty more deer out there and...you paid for that truck.
How is that heartless? All they do is ruin crops, and it would be kinda bad if you killed the thing and didn't eat it. Wasteful.Sarpedon said:
OT: No, as there was nothing you could have done, and you tried to stop.
Nah, shit happens. It's not like you laughed about it and went after the deer's babies just so its spirit would suffer.
Heartless? No. If you are heartless for accidentally hitting a deer, even though you did everything in your power not to, and caring more about your truck after getting past the "it's dead, I'm not" stage, then there are about a half a million jobs out there that anyone doing them who is still sane is probably Dr. Mengele. Now, heartless would be if you then saw its mate, and Holy Mary, this is getting censored then after that you tied I hope you appreciate this censorship and then you saw its kid and Now the mind that came up with this, that's heartless and with 3 tuna hooks and a stick blender you the images... they won't come out until excuse me, I really have to puke now. Now that's heartless. Incidentally, did you put it to good use? Its either good meat for you or good money for you, depending on what you do with it.RamirezDoEverything said:
This is an animal that jumps out onto roads and then freezes up when they see headlights. That which doesn't adapt can only die. Plus you did try to brake. Furthermore, car damage is expensive to repair, so it's not wrong to be pissed when a fucking deer wrecks your shit seemingly at random.
