So, I hit a deer last night...

Driving home from my parent's house last night I caught a flash of a deer coming across the road to my left. I hit the breaks and as the car screeched along I felt like I had perfectly lead the deer into the line of fire. Bump, bump. I think I hit him pretty solid. Didn't clip is front or back legs, just a solid square hit. It looked like, to me and Sarah, that guts and blood went flying as we hit and he fell on the hood. At that point I didn't see what happened I pulled over to the side looking in the rear view to make sure nobody was behind me and to locate the dear. I was sure he was going to be laying on the ground. A car drove up and asked if we were ok. The deer was not there... Sarah says it flipped and landed upside down, got up and then took off into the woods. I imagined the deer running along with its guts hanging out... bleh. I got out to take a look at the front of the car... no blood or guts. Just some deer hair and a dented hood and broken left turn signal cover (tiny grrr).

Sarah took some of the hair and lit a candle for the deer. I would think he was hurt but maybe it looked worse than it was.
