Most cops are carrying 9mms, 10mms, 40 cals, these are going to have a tough time taking down a deer especially a psycho rutting buck. They shoudl have just shot it with the rifle to begin with. This story reminds of a couple years ago back on opening day of our gun season. My neighbor goes to his stand climbs up and theres a bear laying on the deck of the tower blind house...He calls the dnr, they send out a female warden. the bear is aggressive, she pulls out her 9mm and shoots it in the air thinking its going to scare the bear away, wrong, pisses the bear off, my neighbor looks at her and says, do you really think that gun is going to kill this bear, shes like yea why wouldnt it, he asked if he could shoot it with his rifle, she said no, that woudl be against the law. He looks at her and says here take my rifle and you shoot it, she said she cant shoot a rifle??????? he looks at her and says well im going to a different stand, you can stand here and piss that bear off all you want, but im out of here. he left, and she wasnt too far behind him
