When I was a kid, we had subscription to Field & Stream. The first time I ever recall literally laughing out loud from something I was reading was a Patrick McManus column where he related the story where he had planned on getting an evening hunt in before the end of buck season.

His wife had borrowed his truck because she had some kind of function to attend and needed to haul centerpieces or decorations of some sort, which necessitated that he take her VW Bug.

As the light was falling he saw a good sized buck, shot it and it collapsed. Because of the late hour, and not wanting to field dress it before putting it into his wife's car, he stuffed it into the back of the VW and started driving home.

Unbeknownst to him, he had only grazed the deer's skull rendering it unconscious, and it "came back to life" in the back of the VW on his way home...

Patrick McManus is a national treasure.

I knew a guy that him and his buddy went out and outlawed an old doe. They stopped at the local pub to have a quick one. A guy walked in and tapped him on the shoulder and said “you might want to go out and finish that doe off. She’s standing up in your pickup “.
