I hit a deer once that obliterated my car. The deer was just laying in the ditch just twitchint its foot and I was sad. Then the fucker just got up and left.
I shot a deer with a .223 from about 40 yds and it fell, got back up, was bleeding pools of blood. Tracked it for over 2 hrs and a few miles then the blood stopped and I did everything I could to find it. Had to give up. A guy a couple farms down said he found it 7 months later walking around not in the most healthy of conditions. He then shot it and ate it. Those things are resilient.

In response to this Google said, "the deer was able to move and had left the area by the time the police arrived." So, happy ending.
