What seems not well-understood is that although having a deer crash through your windshield can kill you and definitely ruins your upholstery, deer meat is actually quite pricy. Road kill may be 'damaged' goods, but isn't that the same as a deer with a bullet hole in it? So... if you do manage to hit a deer, or you see a deer that's been recently hit... and nobody can see you... take it. It'll take you about two hours to clean it and cut it up, then all you need to do is either freeze the meat or cook it and you've got some very fine meat that'll last you for months.
Have you ever driven somewhere only to get to wherever it was only to realize you originally meant to go somewhere else entirely? This is what you look like.
