Had a buddy hit one with his car when we were in high school.It was bow season and he took his bow out into the weeds where the buck ran to and fell over.Another kid was with him and wasnt a licensed hunter so was unarmed at the time.They were expecting a dead deer and really only took the bow in case it needed to be put down.
Long story short the buck wasnt dead, the bow wasnt really usefull in the thick weeds, and the kid that had the bow got an ambulance ride to the hospital, he came out allright but got the crap kicked out of him.Never did locate his bow when they went back out to look for it.
Wounded deer that feel cornered can be real unpredictable.
