Was I wrong to call the cops after I hit a deer (it did not die)? (Page 2)

Question

It happened last night. I was really shaken up. It happened to me for the second time now and I'm actually afraid to drive my car ever again, even if just to work. I didn't even go fast, about 70 km/h but it happened at 10pm. I get mixed opinions. I always thought I am supposed to call the cops no matter the outcome of an incident like this one when a deer/wild animals are involved. The deer did not die or at least it did not in that moment. There were about 3 of them and I just didn't see them :( I just had to call them because I was shaken up, it was freezing and my car is insured (thank god) and I just wanted to be sure.

Its a common occurrence , just move the deer out the road that's the best thing to do

You could’ve called a veterinarian, not the cop

I sideswiped a deer once. I didn't call the cops, didn't feel I needed to

Probably don’t have to but they can help you out with it, probably insurance company to cover your damage mostly is who you need to call
