Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn.
Closest I came to that was a trifecta on the way to A&M one weekend - driving Ronnie's car of course ... Worse, the one SHE had "borrowed" from HER uncle who was overseas in Europe at the time!
The deer saw me coming, hesitated, then tried to cross the road.
Bad decision.
I tried to slow (honest!) but saw a guy behind me about 50 feet back doing (well, fast ... you know) and decided braking hard wasn't a good idea.
So I slowed a fraction, but caught the deer down low - maybe right about knee level - flipping his feet from under him as I bounced him into the other lane of traffic towards a row of cars coming our way on Hwy 21.
He rotated in mid-air once, pointing his hooves directly at oncoming traffic, but landed on the other guy's hood with his feet straight up, bounced back into our lane behind me, and got clobbered by the guy tailgating me right in the windshield.
We didn't even want to think about what his insides looked like ....
That was the first of my 8 road kill trophies.....

Hwy 21 offers plenty of roadkill opportunities.
I once smacked an armadillo out there just east of Austin.
I think he rolled about 50 yds, got up slowly and walked off into the brush.
