we hit one with my chev one night on the way back from crop damage shooting with 3 in the back. Hit squarely and it went flying in the ditch on it side. No way i thought that deer was alive. Almost didnt bother because i figured if we did drag it home there would be no meat left anyway. buddy and i both hopped out of the truck and like dumb you know whats didnt bring a gun. We walked up to the deer and it hopped up and took off in the woods. Figured it might make a couple yards and pile up. Went back and we both got lights and guns and went in where it did. We found one drop of blood and being bullheaded spent 2 hours looking for that deer and never even found another scuffed track. Im sure that deer must have died but i know it made at least 200 yards in the woods because we searched every square in of that area. If it lived id bet it sure would have liked some oxycodone for a couple days. Bent my bumper and busted my grill and took out the headlight. Then i get to tell my deliverance story again. I was heading to dad and mas which is about 50 miles from here. Theres a scenic way to get there along a big lake. Came around the corner and there was a man and women in there 60s with a sport utility with AZ plates standing in the road. There vehicle was off the road at a strange angle. Figured they got in a wreck and stopped. When we got out the women was crying. I ask her if she was ok and she said "im fine but that deer is hurt bad" I looked in the ditch and there was a medium sized doe kicking. She said we dont know what to do. so Lloyd goes in the truck and grabs my glock 23 and walked up to it and put a bullet in its head. They both absolutely freaked. I seriously think they thought i was going to call a vet. I drug the deer out of the ditch to the side of the road and took out my knife and started gutting it. My wife was even shaking her head by now. the couple was absolutley freaking out. I gutted it and cut the two hind quarters off and cut the hide so i could get the back straps and i asked them if they wanted some meat. They both ran to there yuppy car and took off like a scalded rabbit. took the meat to dads and gave it to him. They must have though they were in a deliverance movie. They didnt realize that 75 percent of the people up here have hit deer at one time or another and most more then one. My wife still tells people that story.
