The only thing everyone is leaving out in not swerving is consider the height of the vehicle you are in. Low car big deer maybe better to swerve. The reason being that a tall deer hit by a low car can go through the windshield. A co-worker of mine was killed a few years when she & her husband hit a deer. The deer's legs went through the windshield and she was killed next to her husband. Truck or SUV definitely hit the deer.
Even if you take the swerve route you still need your seatbelt. It's really hard to steer if you can't stay behind the wheel.
