How the heck does this happen in a deer vehicle accident? (warning gross picture)

[First-light]

Ok on the main road to 86 I see this deer thought it was two. Dead in the road crows and buzzards all over them. I get close its not two deer just one. 

The skin and head were ripped right off the body cavity. There lays the skin and there lays the body. No it was not skinned by someone for meat cause you can see the roasts and Loins, most of the loins picked over. It just amazes me.

Yikes!!!

My guess would be the the "buzzards". It doesn't take them long to strip a carcass from what I have seen here, and the first thing they do is start ripping the victim apart.

Yeah but not skinning it. That is the weird part.

That is the weird part, I have never seen anything quite like it.

I believe it got hit hard in the neck area  and got caught on something sticking off the vehicle like exhaust system clamps. Maybe dragged a long ways by the hide taking it right off the carcass.

Blood stains were pretty much contained to that area. You have to be right about it getting caught. It's all but gone now. There was an eagle eating off of it this morning.

I seen more deer laying by the road the last few weeks. Cooler nights may be making them more mobile.
