Years ago I was working in the ER at the hospital on Fort Jackson, SC. A deer jumped through the main lobby’s plate glass window, and severed it’s carotid artery. Bambi bleed out right there.
I wanted to claim the carcass but the MPs wouldn’t let me.
Late 1980’s, a deer crashed through the front plate glass window of an Ames Department Store in northeast Indiana. Badly injured, it started kicking and bleeding out at the checkouts in front of a busy crowd of weekend shoppers.
One of the customers had a buck knife with him. He walked over, slit it’s throat and put it out of its misery. Cleanup in aisle six.
The local newspaper accounts of this are seared into my mind all these years later.
