Wow, you were lucky. An impact like that might've caused you to wreck. Happens all the time. I'm glad you dragged the carcass out of the road. Obviously you prevented another accident or maybe saved the life of some poor biker. But also, I hate the disrespect it shows to the animal to have it's body slowly ground to dust by man's machines. Pulling it out of the road puts the body back in the normal cycle of nature as carrion.

Well, I tell folks about it and show them the pics and alot of them have said “Didn’t you have time??” and try to make out like she was taking a casual saunter across the road.

In fact I didn’t. And from the memories I have she was in full attack mode. My car is a small Sentra and it is the beige color you see alot.

I figure she was out, caught the whiff of a deer, and saw the color of my car and went for it.

I did feel sorry about it. She was a beautiful animal. That particular region (abt 75 miles from Yosemite) has quite a few, I’ve even see them playing with each other in the fields during daylight hours.
