Brain Dead
Now i hit a deer with my car no luck what so ever. Anyway the front nose of the car has cracks in it. Can i just repair with body filler or do i first need to repair with the fiber glass resin?

There are no pics in your garage. Anyway, you have cracks in the front nose of the car, eh? I am assuming that the rear nose is just fine, since you didn't mention it.
OK, seriously, I think you know the answer to your own question. There are cracks in the fiberglass. Body filler is for dents (very small dents, at that). You need to repair the cracks, not just cover them up. If you fill the crack in with body filler, it will not be long before that crack comes back to haunt you. Repair the crack, use body filler to smooth out imperfections, and paint. Good luck, and make sure to let us know how it comes out.
Keep the shiny side up!

I am starting to wonder if it is some sort of a joke?
