I can't take credit for this one.
A friend who is a railroad engineer called me one night at 9:15 and said he had hit a deer with the train engine.
I said, "Big deal, you hit deer all the time."
He says, "Yeah, but this is the first one I ever felt!" "Please take care of him for me - he's still alive."
I asked when he hit the buck and he said "on the same run 24 hours earlier but I thought he was dead. When I took the train by tonight I saw that he was still standing."
Well, I hiked in with my bow to where he told me the deer was and I found him still up on his forelegs full of fight and rage. I delivered a quick arrow through his heart. Man!... he one big deer! Antlers scored 186 3/8 B&C points.
