You should first quickly check your rear view mirror if you are about to hit any animal.
If another vehicle is so close to you that they would rear end you if your slammed on the brakes, don't brake, rather do a "blind spot move", that is, check over your shoulder and in front, especially if the available lane is to the left, then swerve around the animal if possible. You would want to swerve right if you could.
if the adjacent lane is blocked and the car is too close behind, maybe tap your brakes a little and go forward even if you will hit the animal. I wouldn't speed up, that would do more damage to your vehicle and the deer.
If no vehicle is close behind you, the I would say slam on the brakes.
However, don't jeopardize human life for animal life!
