Default Bad Hit!

Well fella's I made a bad hit on one today, on the way to work! Darn doe was crossing the Turnpike. I saw her in the median strip from a distance and immediately started slowing down (cruise set at 75mph). I kept moving right and she kept coming. By the time I hit her I was probably only doing 20-25 and completely off the road in a grassy strip. I think I hit her with the driverside corner and just rolld her under enough to break her front leg and mess up her ribs and side. She went down still alive and laid behind my truck. She made a few attempts to get to her feet and the broken leg made her head out into the traffic. Luckily she never made it. I had nothing in my truck to humanly finish the job! I did have my golf clubs but standing by the highway dispatching her with a brand new 9 iron didn't seem like a wise move. She did make it into the woods finally. But she won't last. First deer I ever hit with a car..man I feel like crap!! There was no damage to my Blazer. I did flag down an Ohio State Highway Patrol but he could not do anything as she was no longer posing a "threat" to safety.
