i had never seen her chase down a deer...however that is what the game warden told us she was doing.
i have seen her chase a full sized moose though, and it took off running and ran by me at full speed...with her at its heels

I've trained and hunted with coonhounds for a couple years, and I never seen a dog match speed with a deer. That deer was either injured or sick. That's pretty dangerous as well, you might want to try breaking her off of big game like that before she gets trampled by a moose or winds up chasing a deer halfway across the state, or worse - onto a highway.
If it's a problem you can break them off of deer and other unwanted game with breaking scents, which are scents extracted from glands of whichever unwanted game you're having a problem with. You spread some of this on a rag and tie it around the dogs neck. Usually after being bombarded with this scent for a couple hours, a few days in a row, they'll never want to smell it again in their life, let alone chase after it.
Here's the scents if you need them:
