Species Account:
The animal was a small button buck. It was beginning to shed it's coat and faint spots were disappearing off the top/hind end. The spotting was only visible on the top/hind. I would estimate weight around 60lbs (this is an estimate and I am not the best at weight estimates). The animal jumped out infront of a truck and was struck by the side view mirror in the head. The collision knocked it out and it was dead within 2-3 minutes of the initial impact. I was not the driver who hit it but saw it occur and immediately pulled over to check on the other vehicle and remove the deer from the road. The deer was alone at the time and I did not see any additional deer. The deer was cleaned and quartered approximately 2 hours after it was hit. The animal looked very healthy and no obvious signs of disease or otherwise were seen.
