Sounds ok to me. The animal unfortunately died but is being utilized and I cant see anything wrong in that. Deer do strange things in the headlights.

Cook to rare and serve with a nice merlot!

ps
Folks laugh at our " Road Kill Law" passed a couple of years ago here in TN but I think it only makes perfect sense. Deer/car collisions are a given, at least this way after calling the gamewarden and them ok' ing the situation, the animal is then turned over to whoever wants it (first choice being the person who now has deer hair in their grill). The old way was the game wardens typically dumped the carcass. Luckily I' ve never had the pleasure (knockin on wood) but have had several close calls on my Harley and that WILL get your attention. []
