  Sorry to hear of the accident.  Been there, had that done to me.
A trooper came quickly to put it down and then we gave it to an
impoverished country family who lived down the road and knew how
to dress/harvest it.  I love it, no waste. 

  I grew up in the mid-Hudson Valley and deer were always a problem.
Starting in the 70's, it got worse and was so bad that even Vassar
college, a 'caring' institute, hired hunters in the late 90's to cull
dozens from their properties and other areas in Dutchess County.
My mother used to have a couple dozen in her yard in the mornings.
The danger, besides accidents, was LYME disease carried by the deer
and the Mid-Hudson valley was a hot point.  Anyway, perhaps 20 or
25 years ago a plague hit the deer population and now you hardly
see them anywhere.  Nature rules.

Good Luck,
Wayne
