Well, that's close to what happened to my hunter's safety instructor's partner.
(Or so he claims).

The guy glanced a whitetail with his brand-spanking-new 06 semi
(forget if it was a Remington 740 of a Browning 5), and it lay down on
the spot.

The chap had a camera with him for just such an occasion, so he racked
his rifle on the antlers, backed up a bit, and got a bit fuzzy but
otherwise good picture of a 6-8 pointer getting up to leave with a gun
on his head.

Bet that boy got a big harem that fall !
