A friend of mine who lives in the city called the police one morning because a deer wandering through was hit by a car.
The cop put the gun against the deer’s skull at about 4 inches from the concrete. My friend pointed out that he may want to try shooting it at a bit of an angle so when the projectile rebounded off the pavement he wouldn’t catch it in the face or something. The cop ended up calling animal control to finish it off.
But did they field dress the deer? ;-)
