Thats what I would have suggested, I saw a buck get hit one time, it was a decent buck, it hit the side of the road and lay down then died after a few mins. The lady that hit it told us we could have it, after we asked.It did not have a mark on it. Not a scratch. When we skinned it, one side of the deer was bruised badly, all the hit side meat was bloodshot and purple, We found that the car had brokeen its ribs and punctured the lungs.
