I stopped as the doe crawled up the embankment and got as far as she could go. All I had with me was a Kaiser blade, so when I got it out of the bed of my truck, the car that had hit it, probably 100-200 yards in front of me pulled off to the side, sped off. I cannot stand to see an animal suffer.


Some folks call it sling blade, I call it a kaiser blade. Kindly a long wood handle, kinda like an axe handle with a long blade on it shaped kindly like a bananer. Sharp on one edge, dull on the other'n. It's what the highway boys use to cut down weeds and what not.



Funny thing is, I told that story many years later to a co-worker and I said I killed it with a Kaiser blade, some folks call it a swing blade, and he started using a funny voice. I asked him what he was talking doing and he said, "Haven't you seen the movie 'Swingblade'?" I said "No", and had no idea what he was talking about. He thought that was the funniest thing.
