I Couldn't Believe It!

[TinCup]

You won't believe it either...I had been helping a friend of mine build a new garage and after a long day he was taking me home. It was after dark and we were taking a shortcut along a dark two lane road. A deer ran out in front of us and my buddy couldn't stop the truck and hit the deer, a pretty good sized doe.

After surveying the damage to his truck (about $1500), he decided to call the local County Police in order that a report was done for insurance purposes. After calling the cops, we waited for about 20 minutes befor an officer showed up. He explained what happened and the officer took whatever information he needed for his report. He then asked if we wanted to keep the deer, and of course we answered yes.

He walked over to the ditch where the doe was, and noticed she was still breathing, so he called in on his radio for permission to discharge his weapon to dispatch the doe. After receiving permission, he made a big production of making us back up to the otherside of the road for safety, then proceeded to un-holster his weapon.

He then turns sideways to the deer, holds his gun about a foot from the does head, turns his head away, and pulls the trigger. Guess what...HE MISSED!

He had to call in again for permission to fire a second round. I bet all his buddies were laughing as hard as we were!

And people just don't believe that you MUST use your sights



At least they let the officer take care of biz.

About 20 years ago, my buddy and crossed over the river into Jersey a few days before deer season. A 12 point buck leapt across the road, and totaled by buddy's car.

The poor thing's back was broken, and the cops said they couldn't do anything about it, as the nearest authorized animal control person was more than an hour away.

They let the deer die hard, rather than attend to it properly, because the state of NJ has completely taken leave of its senses.

Similiar story, different ending.

About 10 years ago, was driving home with the wife and son. Big doe came out of field on the left and ran into the car, I did not hit it, it hit me. Right behind the front wheel on the left side. Stopped, got out and looked at car then checked the deer out. It's not dead, but it is out cold, with a broke back leg.

Pulled the deer out of the road back into the field. Did not have a cell phone then, so wife and son got back in car, back down the road to call the authorities. So here I am sitting beside this deer on the side of the road. While I am thinking they are taking a long time, it wakes up. It looked at me and tried to get up once, but dizzally went back down. So it just stayed there.

The wife and two locals from the town PD then arrive. As one of the cops comes up, the deer watches him, and we talk about what happened, we talk about the broke leg. Says there's nothing he can do. All this time the deer just watches us, makes no move to get up. Then the other cop comes over. Says he is going to destroy it. Starts to reach for his handgun and it all happened right then. That doe came alive. It got up fell a little bit and took off right between the legs of the cop that reached for his gun. The cop jumped up as the doe went under him and the other cop and I fell over laughing. We laughed I know for 10 solid minutes.

Saw that doe or another one with a crooked hind leg for the next few years in that same field.

Funny version o fthis story: Cop buddy has a rookie with him, respond to a deer vs. car crash. Deer is crippled badly, but still trying to crawl away. My buddy is an avid hunter, and is not going to wath the deer suffer. Gets the okay from shift sergeant, and tells rookie to put the deer down. Rookie complains that he isn't going to dirty up his pistol, so he gets the shotgun out of the car, jacks a round, and walks up to the deer. Puts the barrel right up by the deer's head and pulls the trigger, only to have blood abd brain matter spray all over his nice brand new grey trousers. Guess he should have cleaned his pistol...
