Species Account:
Big ears, grey face, black chest, small tail. I was traveling north on Hwy 78 near mile marker 24 between Marsing and Murphy, ID. It was at about 9:00 PM on 10/21/17. It was a dark night, due to overcast sky. My attention was on oncoming traffic. I was going 55 to 60 mph. Suddenly, there was a deer immediately in front of my pickup, and I ran over it.. I didn't even have time to use the brakes. I stopped, turned around, and returned to the spot where I thought I hit the deer. Two guys stopped to help, and they located the deer. They helped me load it into my truck.
I could not drive my truck. All the transmission fluid had leaked out. I called 911, and Owyhee County Sheriff's Deputies responded. They took information for a report (#2017-03127), but didn't give me a ticket. I called the Nampa Game and Fish Field Office, but I had to leave a message. The deputies arranged for a tow truck to recover my vehicle.
After I got home I gutted the animal to prevent spoilage. I hit it broadside, and it rolled under the truck. There was extensive damage to the internal organs, excessive bleeding, and the bladder and stomach were ruptured. There was also a small amount of leakage of fecal material.
The front shoulders, back strap, neck, and both rear quarters are salvageable.
