Don't expect the airbag to go off in most instances.  It takes a large impact 
of deceleration for the airbag to go off.  The airbag will go off when you 
hit something like a wall, or another car,  causing your car to go from 30mph 
to 0 in a second.  I doubt a deer can ever cause an impact like that.  More 
likely you hit the deer, it went airborne, and then you stopped the car.  The 
deer didn't stop the car.  I hope i'm making some sense because it doesn't 
feel like I am.
