Deer strike on the autoban

The Germans do things different.

Driving on the autobahn in Germany at 140mph in his BMW Z4,
the driver hit a deer. The deer disappeared...The driver stopped
and wondered, where did the deer go.......???

Those German deer are much smaller than what we have here in the U.S. They're are only about the size of very large dog. It wouldn't take much to splat one of them into oblivian.

Compensation

Does Black Forest Venison have a lighter,less gamely flavor?(Being smaller)

That does look a tad on the "Rare" side...might have to drive 50 klicks further
to put the finishing "Roast" on it with the engine heat.

Thread Hijack:
Parts of I-16 run through very rural areas...The Deer enter the Interstate via
the On/Off ramps at Night.'Not unusual to have to dodge them in the wee
hours of the Morning.
Or not...and have to visit the E.R. involuntarily,and deal with what's left of
your transport once you're released.

The car ate a deer? Must have had a yen for venison

I wonder how long he could have driven the car with the deer under the hood...

BMW makes strong hood latches if it did not pop open.

I wonder if he smelled it cooking under there or maybe some smoke from the blood?
