I would kill the deer with a knife. I have done it three times already. Two times the people hit one and stopped and didn't know what to do. The third someone hit one, stopped and kept going leaving the deer in the middle of the road trying to get up. I drug it off the road and killed it with a knife. When I was sure it was dead I got in my car and left. I don't have a cell phone or I probably would have called the sherrif and reported it.

The two times when the other people stopped one was a women and the other was a guy. Neither had a means of killing the animal so I did it for them. In both cases I left it up to the peole that hit the deer to call the police, if they don't want them involved it's none of my buiseness. The lady destroyed her car so she called 911 and I waited with her until someone showed up. They guy said he was going to call to see if he could keep the deer, I left because he was fine and his truck was drivable.

I carry a SOG sealpup in my trunk just for this purpose because there are so many deer/car accidents in my area.

Oh, I don't know if what I did was legal or not, but the one time the police came they had no problem with it and thanked me for helping the lady and getting the deer out of the road.
