    Exactly. Plus, in some places, the sheriff has a "to call" list of folks who will come and collect the deer for processing and (usually) donation. So the process is supposed to be you get out and inspect your car, put the deer out of its misery if you're capable (again, rural area), and contact the sheriff. Particularly if it's blocking the roadway and you can't move it out of the way. Usually they'll dispatch someone, but I've heard that sometimes they just call the next person on the collection list.

      Be familiar with your local game laws, though. You wouldn't want your good faith effort being misconstrued as hunting/taking out of season.
