i dont find it strange that the airbag did not deploy. the front bumper did not take enough force for any airbags to release. if the airbag did deploy, you might actually been more injured from the airbag.
seems like the fit did receive a lot of damage. im no insurance adjuster but from experience, it doesnt seem like there might be enough damage for them to total the car.
i hope for your sake they do total the car, too. i would hate to drive a car that i know has been in such a serious accident. otherwise, you could always have insurance repair the car and sell it privately for a fair price.
you should feel pretty lucky. hitting a deer at 50-60 miles per hour is very dangerous. if you hit the deer head on, a likely scenario is the deer would've went through the windshield and killed you.

best of luck with the repairs. Maybe it'll be an opportunity to get an aftermarket bumper put on?

I had the exact same thing happen to me. Our cars look identical...however I hit the driver side with a deer.
I will have to post pics when I get home. I saw your image and it is identical to the damage I sustained.
