What is this patch of discolored hair on my doe?

The doe I whacked Sunday has two patches of weird hair on it.  It looks as though the hair was shaved off and its growing back on. Obviously it wasn't shaved, but what caused this? Buddy thinks it was hit by a car.  I wouldnt think hit by a car would cause this.   The large patch is hind quarter. The smaller patch is close to the front shoulder.  guesses???

The hair is shorter and not easy to tell if its thinner. I dont think thinner. Possible road rash but is it likely a deer would be dragged? I dont think so. If dragged, I wouldnt think it would be up walking around after. It seemed in good shape except for that.

Gangrene you will smell immediately, and will be very obvious....think a wound that looks like rotting blackened road kill. I have cleaned a number of road kill deer, and injuries/ bruising, is very obvious once you skin it out (not allways obvious with hide on).
