Are we going to ignore the following:

keep the deer or bear for his own use as if the animal had been killed by that person during hunting season for the animal.” Va. Code § 29.1-539. “Compliance” means that the driver must immediately report the accident, whereupon an officer “shall view the deer or bear” to ensure that it was an accident. If the officer is satisfied, he or she may award the deer or bear to said driver.

I mean yeah. If the deer/bear was in the road the driver gets it. If the driver clearly drove out of the way to hit the deer/bear they don't get it and potentially get a fine.
