Even the worst of your descriptions is far better than what I' ve seen and see weekly. As a police officer I had to track down and kill wounded deer that have been hit by cars. Nasty, nasty, job. And last year I moved out into the country and have counted 29 dead or dying deer along a three mile stretch of road since September 15th. A spine shot is way more humane than an automobile. And just so you know, we Americans kill more deer with our automobiles every year than hunters do!
