That sucks. Luckily you weren't hurt.
It's hard to tell just from pictures. There may be more damage in behind.
We hit a deer in our 8th and the damage was mostly on the drivers side front. The bumper, fender, hood, headlight and door (fender was pushed back into the door) needed to be fixed. The total was pushing 5k by the time it was all settled.
A body shop should be able to give you a quote. Go to a few different ones.
Good luck!

Call all the body shops in your area to get a couple estimates for free. Your insurance adjuster will also have to take a look at your car to get a quote to go against for insurance.
Assuming your frame or core support did not get bent your looking at replacing all of your front panels and trim as well as time in the paint booth. Shops usually charge somewhere around 60-120 an hour for labor.

I'd imagine in the 3k range but could be worse depending on what it looks like behind the bumper.

Another point...... Don't remove the deer hair from the car until you have your insurance company look at it, even though you do have pic's of it.

Sorry to hear ........... I've had 2 contacts with deer, one on my MC & the other in my now car........ Got'em both(vehicles) slowed down enough not to damage the car, and only bent the foot brake pedal on my MC(my ankle didn't like it).
I have way more respect for those heavy little deer that can run very fast, and turn on a dime......... Deer reports say about 1 out of 113 vehicles in Virginia hit deer a year. WV is the worse state in the Union.
