Hit a deer, claim on insurance or just pay?

I hit a deer last night. Damage looks pretty bad, but I think it’s really just the plastic bumper and grille that needs replacing. I guess there might be more damage beneath but it wasn’t a particularly hard bang so it’s unlikely. If I go through my insurance, I assume my premium will increase but having never claimed…

Strange thing with deer if you go into a field and shoot one it belongs to the landowner so it's illegal but if it jumps onto the road and you hit it it's then a wild animal so the landowner isn't liable

It's still a wild animal in the field - but the right to hunt on the land is reserved by the landowner, so you're not allowed to shoot anything on it unless you have permission.
