The next car along saw what happened, and called the accident into the police on her cell phone.
Anyway, I walked back to my truck and got out my buck knife and had just dispatched the deer with a quick stick in the heart over the animal's back (the safest way to do it, by the way) when a police cruiser pulled up, lights flashing, and a young (20-something) officer got out of the car.
The officer walked up to me, and looking at me, dressed in full camo and face paint, with my hunting license pinned to my back, laughed and said "Man, you must've wanted that buck pretty bad...."
I got about 50 pounds of processed venison out of it, but it was the most expensive deer I ever killed, that's for sure... $2200 worth of vehicle damage worth...
LOL! I got skunked one year with my Hawken, and about a week later bashed a big doe with my oldsmobile.
The joke later was "couldn't get one with my 50 so I had to use my '88'".
