Unless you really botch it its likely the deer will be dead by the time you can get somebody there. In my case I gave the deer an extra hour and he was dead. No way I could have walked to somewhere to get phone service, made the call,waited for a CO to arrive, and walked back to where the deer was in an hour and the deer had been dead quite a while before I got back so we are talking probably an hour and a half of suffering from shot to death and probably a half hour between the time I found him and could have shot him again and the time he died.
