Default RE: Buck hit by car today

I've seen some close calls over the years. I actually hit my first one this year after 32 years of driving. I was driving on Rt 13 outside of Harrisburg, IL. The doe came up out of the ditch I attempted to slow, move to the left, but another hunter heading home was coming up to the side of me. I slowed down enough and just caught her with my bumper. Lucky she didn't damage anything but my license plate and bracket. However I did run over her. Had to call the deputy to put her down....Illinois law. Had I been on a country road instead of a 4 lane I would have put her down myself.
