I just about crashed my rental car into a giant deer that walked right into the road in front of the hotel. I'd never had that happen before, and it sucks. Worse still, I saw a HUGE deer that had been hit, lying on the main road, thrashing around in agony. A local cop pulled over and started shooting at it. I kid you not, it was like "Me and Irene" in the cow scene. The cop shot him (her?) 5-6 times, it'd get half way up and try to run, then he'd shoot it some more...Jesus what a nightmare.
That cop needs a lesson in shot placement. Head or heart. Fer chrissakes. I do appreciate that he pulled over to end the animal's agony, though.
