Roadkill. Limped off the highway into the ditch.

Terrified to get any closer? Give it a couple more to be sure.
We will get you through this Dick.

Call the fish cops. You can't take road kill without permission, Dick. It just ain't worth the hassle if you get caught.

Suddenly the stunned buck awoke up in a rage...... Dick was last seen whimpering and tripping his way across the stubble with the buck in hot pursuit. I tried to warn Dick he shouldn't bathe in that hot doe scent.

Used the MM shooting unabashed Hornady 150gr BTSP's
They leave the 20" barrel at 2850fps, and after travelling the 185yds to the buck it first damaged the right side air intake, then damaged the main circulating pump discharge plumbing, then carried on to damage the left side air intake. The resultant damage resulted in a crash shutdown.

Congrats. Cool story thanks for the entertainment.
