I waited until his head was down a bit, so a miss would be absorbed in the body. No miss, one shot with a .22 mag.

Why didn't the cop stand above the downed deer, at a distance of 6 feet, & shoot the apex of the eyes & ears. Or phone Chuck, or anyone proficient. ASIRT said it took 15 minutes driving back & forth over it to kill it. Unacceptable.
