Screw the deer, it's still likely to be at least $1K5+ in front end damage. You can't even replace a grill and headlight for much less than that these days unless you DIY at a junkyard.

That is one creepy looking critter.
Isn't that the one that uses that long finger to dig bugs out of logs and trees.

No deer is getting up from a properly placed 50 caliber 245 grain black powder rifle shot.

Is that the weight of .50 cal round ball? I thought that shot of that size were heavier then that. While the deer may or may not get back up, They are still alive enough to seriously injury or even kill hunters foolish enough to get too close before it is dead.

I stated that weight of conical lead bullet as that is what I use for black powder hunting for deer. A ball would be considerably lighter.
A properly placed round they would be dead in short order, probably before they hit the ground. You are correct a wounded deer will hurt you or kill you. That is why you always wait and watch before approaching the animal. I always touched his eye with the barrel or a stick before getting too close as a reaction test.

I think I've told this story before... But here goes..
Back in the mid-80's, I was working on a large construction project in western Wyoming. Several thousand workers scattered across multiple jobsites...very little local housing available...So, the company bussed people from Jackson Hole, Evanston, Green River, Rock Springs, Evanston, Kemmerer, all over. Shorter runs were old dilapidated school busses, longer trips were charter-types...similar to small Greyhounds.
One night, I climbed on the bus to Rock Springs because I needed a few things that weren't available locally with the plan to spend the night in the company man camp, then ride the bus back to the job in the morning.
Part way to town, the bus hit a large bull elk. When the driver stopped to check for damage, one of the southern ironworkers got off, looked at the dead elk and exclaimed, "boys, we're having elk for supper! I'm gonna bleed this thing and throw it into the luggage bay!" About that time, the "dead" elk woke up...horned the guy in the thigh, then proceded to jump up, knocked the ironworker to the ground and tapdanced on him for a what seemed like several minutes...then trotted off like nothing had happened.
Me and another foreman climbed off the bus, made sure he was alive, I suggested throwing HIM into the luggage bay so he didn't bleed all over the bus seats...(I was over-ruled) and we continued the trip into town...

That's the wooded area behind the park & ride where you find an inexplicably large amount of men's underwear on the ground.

Ah! the public Lemon Party spot. I think that has its own hobo symbol, doesn't it?

Temporary worker housing. Basically a bunch of single-wide trailers connected.
Nah, that's my back yard... dirty chonies scattered strategically to deter deer, coyotes, and bears.
