I swear I hit the same deer 4 times when I was 16. I had a 4x4 Chevy s10 blazer with a carbureted 2.8 v6 that would top out at about 64 mph if you could hang on to it at that speed. A buddy lived out of town and his area was hilly. I topped a hill near his place and locked the brakes at least a dozen times, 4 times I slid into a doe that appeared to be licking a reflector in the road. I assume she was licking the road salt. Busted a grille, I glued it back together several times. Hardest I ever hit her she kinda bounced up on the hood and crapped right on the windshield.
Not too far from there about 5 years later I saw a lady hit a nice buck. Broke its back. Deer was crawling away. Sheriffs deputy saw it too. He had a dash cam and conveniently moved the car before a loud noise came from somewhere else. He would not do it, said it was too much paperwork, but didn’t mind me wasting a 38spl. Lady’s husband claimed the deer, said he would eat it to ease the grocery bill for a while til he found a fender the right color.
