IMO - if theyve got a taste - theyre not going to forget it and will repeat the behavior unless they are restrained.
Do you smell something?
I knew it was too good to be true. I’m glad I got my zingers in, though.
Awww! Just when we were starting to have some fun!
Train him to bring them home and you will have solved many problems. Such as: the high cost of hunting licenses, ammunition, and you can take deer out of season. Heck, I’d be trying to teach him how to skin and gut them.
I need a dog like that. You anywhere near NJ?
Problem is, your border collie is a herding dog who doesn't know when to stop controlling the prey. And you probably don't know anything about herding instincts. Read up on the proper training of herding dogs.
Border Collies are highly intelligent. I have one. He started killing chickens and I was told he would never stop....he did after I tied one around his neck for 3 days and he had to live with it!! (NOT in the house...lol) If that had failed I would have taken a chicken neck and head and stuck it in his mouth and wrapped duck tape around it...it would be a taste he would grow to hate!! The last thing he wants to see is a chicken!! Will work the same with deer.
This will work with any breed....even if they chew your shoes...see to it a shoe is the last thing they want to be around.

“Is this something I shuld be worried about?”
nah
You know deer are just really big rats, right?
My father-in-law had a german shepard that learned how to chase deer into the pasture fence and then kill them. He was very effective and when ever we needed freah meat we would watch the pasture for deer in the evening and turn ol rebel loose.
What kind of load is your dog shooting to kill these deers?
Go to the store and buy cheap pot pies and feed the dog as much of those as it wants. Give it peanut butter for snacks any time it wants.
Pretty soon your dog will be too fat to catch a tortoise.
I believe one FReeper already correctly solved your dilemma: The dog likely found an injured deer and instinctively began to eat it. I hope you find the following information useful.
Border Collie Temperament
Highly intelligent and trainable, the Border Collie is a very agile dog with plenty of stamina and determination. This is a dog that is eager to please and very quick to learn, which makes him a pleasure to train. He is one of the most trainable of all breeds. This is a well balanced dog with a good temperament and a good nature. The Border Collie is loyal and dedicated, and is both faithful and affectionate to his family. However, despite all of these traits, the Border Collie is not a dog that will be suited to all owners, as he needs a high level of mental and physical stimulation (running, biking, fetching, walking) and will not fare well without this.
The Border Collie may get on okay with older, more considerate children, but is probably not the best choice for those looking for a companion for their child or for those with smaller children. These dogs can be wary around strangers, but can get on okay with other pets. However, their strong herding instincts means that they may try and herd everything, from children and family members to pets and just about anything else. In some cases, the high energy levels of the Border Collie can make it a little hyperactive, but with the right level of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation this is a problem that can be relieved.

Dog was ticked because the dumb deer wouldn’t herd.
Shot him over getting dissed.
