Hypothetically, if you hit a deer while driving, would you be tempted to

If I had the skill yes.


Some years ago I hit a rabbit. I'll skip the details but the only
damage appeared to be some blood round the eyes.

Not to mention that it was dead, right? *LOL.


Yes. What I meant was it wasn't mangled up in anyway. g

OK, It happened like this.

I was coming home from work after evening shift about 2310h. The track
from the transmitting station was steep, twisty and unlit. I came round a
bend and this rabbit was sitting in the middle of the road. I guess it was
transfixed by my lights as it didn't move and I couldn't avoid it. I tried
to drive over it with my wheels each side of it but as I went over it I
heard a bump. I stopped the car, looked round and found it on the verge. I
suspect it tried to hop away but hit its head on the underside of the car..
