Horned rodent is right. The tow truck driver talked a good 15 minutes about how much he hates them.

then contact a good lawyer, sue the deer's family, you could make (another) killing
Nahhhh. I want to make sure little bambi isn't deprived because a lawyer put her family in the poor house.

I have a joke about that, but it is long and drawn out. I will use your version from now on.

I bought some of those deer whistles that are supposed to scare them away, but accidentally mounted them backwards. Now they won't stop chasing my truck....
yes, that is all you can do, send/file a rebuttal to DAC, they will include that into your file, for a future employer to read. as it stands now, on your current DAC, it may only mention DOT reportable tow/maybe accident.
what you want to do as well for future employers is, type up a description as to what happened, time, date, weather, road conditions. and save it to your pc. (some prospective new employers may demand a police report as well, as confirmation you are telling the truth. )
then when you go job shopping, print out a few copies. ALL applications ask for you to explain any accidents/etc....
then just put your print out, in with the application. once a prospective employer see's it was only for a deer strike, you should not be denied the job.

that 20 lbs of deer jerky I have in the freezer is so good that it will not last long once the rest of the family find out where it is.
You answered my question later..
He didn't say it was preventable. Animal strikes are rarely preventable.
This is what makes it a DOT recordable. Doesn't mean you were at fault. It only says you were involved in a crash that was required to be recorded by DOT. Just tell the truth to any prospective employer and don't sweat it. Don't waste your money on a lawyer. Facts are facts and they can't be avoided. It was obviohsly a nonpreventable.
I'm up against this myself. Had a DOT recordable fatality last year. So far, every company I have talked to about it hasn't turned a hair. Like I said. Don't sweat it. Just tell the truth.
