i don't think my 97 ford escort would do too much to bring down a deer, but you reminded me of a story
my old roommate was originally from DC. her husband was from the back woods of tennessee. he was one of like 12 kids, 10 of which were boys. each of those 10 boys went on to have between 3 and 6 kids of their own. so between brothers, cousins, nephews, uncles, etc, there were about 45 - 50 people in his immediate family. and they were pretty tight-knit, so most of her stories about her in-laws started off with "there were 'bout five of them this one night..."
so anyway, my roommate is in her apartment one night, and one of her husband's brothers starts beating on the door. there's bout three or four of them, and they want her husband to come help deal with this deer that they've killed. keep in mind, it's like the middle of the night. so, he says whatever, as long as he gets some of the meat, he'll help them move the carcass. so he leaves. When he comes back, he's all cursing and swearing. She goes "what happened? did you find the deer?" He tells her that they had lied. It was a cow, not a deer. They had snuck onto some dude's farm, shot a cow, and needed help bringing it back.
Yes. Bringing it back. They brought it back to the apartment. At 2am. Five Tennessee rednecks dragging a dead cow into my roommate's apartment. And what's more, they start butchering it in her kitchen. Now, I've never butchered a cow, but she assured me that the sound of these guys sawing through the bone was extremely loud. she was terrified they'd wake the neighbors. (apartment, as I said) So, they butchered the cow as best five drunks can, and what do you think they did with what was left?
THEY WRAPPED IT IN A WHITE SHEET AND LEFT IT IN THE DUMPSTER OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
bloody, horrible white sheets with slaughtered cow parts just left in a dumpster. my roommate wound up calling her father to come get rid of it before the authorities found it.
