I know I've read other stories about escaped deer being shot and the hunter is responsible for reimbursement to the owner the same as if it were any other livestock. Here is a story that mentions it.

For the record, I'd have shot that deer at 17. Today I wouldn't give a plug nickle to bow shoot one if it were inside a 100k acre enclosure. Just ain't my thing.
