    Wounded animals can be very dangerous. I wouldn't get out of my vehicle near the animal in such a situation (without a good means of protecting myself.) Call CSP

    I understand and know it's a pipe dream. Not a perfect world, but it's much the same as the thread about working in the belly of the beast. I make choices in life all the time that aren't popular or easy or right for everyone. Working for a company that is willing and to infringe on a constitutional right isn't something I could hack. Some people don't have that freedom to make that choice. Thus the "sorry" at the end.

    The policy is more of a safety thing. Not some political, anti 2A policy.

    I've only got about 15 years left so I'm just going to try and stay here until I retire.

    Besides, my job is pretty good,benefits are great, and they pay me really well.

    I don't want to. Hence why I posted here looking for options.

    Looks like calling someone is the most popular option. As cruel as this will sound, I'd probably just leave it to die a slow death before I try to call and explain where I'm at. I don't exactly travel in well populated areas.

    No. Just hypothetical.

    Sometimes I have too much time to think during my commute and my mind wanders.

    It's a double edged sword, I respect the company's "right" to the policy and the liability they might feel without it. I think I was just born too late to be living in a world that it seems normal. I lived pretty rural for a long time and had to put a ton of deer down that people left suffering in the barrow ditch. I hated it, but suffering animals hurt my soul.

    And there's your answer.
    Make sure to get a pic with you standing over your kill, bloody sword held high.

    Seriously though, a little NAA .22 mag tucked away somewhere will do the job on most wounded deer situations. Put one shot down an ear hole or brain stem from a few feet away and it's done.

    You'll need a police report for the damage to the company vehicle anyway right? PD/Sheriff/State Patrol.

    Otherwise, big rock or hammer. (if it can be done safely) I've got friends who've had to do this very thing.
    Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    You should get a HAM License. It is a great way to pass the time on the road.

    I agree with the folks that would call CSP. you never know if you would be in a jurisdiction where you could get hemmed up for "Unlawfully discharging a firearm" weirder things have happened.
