Yes the blokes who have shot people swear black and blue they saw a deer, of course they do, what do you expect them to say... "I saw something move and I thought that there was some kind of possibility it was a deer so I shot it" of course not, they admit that and it becomes the moment they can't live with themselves.
A vehicle accident can happen for any number of reasons, sometimes because the driver was drunk, driving at excessive speed etc in which case they belong in the same basket as the shooters.

Or the fact you swore you looked left and right then pulled out in front of a truck

Or you swore you stopped at the stop sign and then got t-boned

Or you swore you were driving to the conditions but then slid out on a bend

It's all a decision,
