I may have come close to having it happen this year with my bow buck. I shot him about 50 yards from the edge of a steep hill that has a busy road at the bottom. He got to the edge of the hill and I heard him crash as he disappeared over the edge. I almost jumped out of the tree fearing he would make it to the road. As I got to the edge of the hill I could see cars stopped and as I scrambled down the hill I saw that the buck hadslid all the way down the hill tothe berm and a guy was already out of his car and had his hands on the deer. I'm sure he thought it was a roadkill. The good news is that as soon as I hollered, he looked up and yelled back NICE BUCK! He was then nice enough to help me get it up off the road and even helped me hide it so I could climb up the hill and bring my truck around.

If I had been just a little slower though, I'm surehe would have been gone!
