theory vs. application

In theory, I agree with Scott. Hitting a deer/dog/whatever sucks, but sucks less than flipping your car. The guy who had my courier route before me was killed on 80 when he flipped his pickup trying to dodge a deer.

In application, unfortunately, I react with the Dean method. I did a double-lane-change before I even had time to tell myself not to last year when a large dog popped up just in front of me on I-80.. in the rain, in a car setup for autocross, with 400 pounds of crap over the rear axles. Since I didn't die, or even put a tire wrong, I guess this is one of those no-right-answer debates, because every situation will be different.
