Obviously you weren't going too fast, or you'd be posting from the afterlife. I assume the car was a total. I hope you didn't suffer any permanent effects from the crash.
I was going too fast - but it was midnight and no one was on the road, so I could take some quick corrective measures. I hit the brakes as hard as I could, swerved to the left (he was racing out onto the road from the right) and minimized the impact somewhat. I didn't hit him head on. It also helped that it was a teenaged moose, not a full grown male.
The only fatality was a 1999 Toyota Corolla. I had some minor scratches from broken glass, and colorful bruising from the seatbelt.
That said - I was wicked lucky. That same weekend, a guy north of me hit one while riding a motorcycle. He wasn't so lucky.
