I was driving tonight and about 15 minutes from home two deer ran in front of me. I avoided the first one. The second one I clipped. I feel like I had to have broken the poor creature's leg(s). The car made a pretty distinctive "thud" and I thought the worst. My wife and I circled back twice to check for this poor thing. Then we went to a gas station so I could see what damage there was to the car. Amazingly, not even a scratch, or hair, or blood.
After the gas station we went back one more time to see if we could find it. Still nothing. On the way home we just prayed that God either nurse it to health and live a resilient life or if it did die, it didn't suffer
My biggest fear is this deer got it's legs broken and is laying in a field a hundred yards off the road suffering and just waiting to die.
If it's your thing, I just ask for you to pray for this creature. I feel terrible.
