Up in this AO a road-kill is a 911 call. Why? Because one wants to disassemble the animal as quickly as possible, and that call will get a Deputy to come out and issue you a tag so you can get your Buck folder out. (They will also take care of the report because nowadays busting a piece of plastic on the vehicle is gonna be > $1K and deer up this way are pretty, well, meaty.)
Last time I was on a ride-along with a friend on the Rochester dept we had an injured one right on the grassy strip between the main drag and the big mall just NW of Mayo. Judicious application of .40 S&W took care of that right in town; tag issued.
One thing an officer doesn't want to do is call back to dispatch and indicate any number greater than "1 shot fired" -
