Hunting with the wrong license

My wife left our cabin early today to visit a friend.  Before she had gone ten miles a buck jumped out in front of her in a well-shaded place.  Her car hit it in the hindquarters.  Once she came to a stop she looked for the deer for some time but never found it.

Did it survive?  If not, will a hunter find it before the wolves or carrion eaters such as crows and eagles?

The damage to her car seems minimal, only a cracked headlight, one we just had replaced.

I told her to call our insurance company as soon as possible.  Also when the adjuster comes to make sure he checks for frame damage.  When I hit a bear in 2014, the adjuster only looked at body damage.  A few years later a mechanic found significant mechanical damage.

Are we hummingbirds or eagles?

As I was doing my singing practice, my mind wandered to two other activities that I could do. The image of hummingbirds flitting in and out around a feeder sprang into my mind.

Do we act like hummingbirds, darting from one task to another? Do we assume that the feeder will always be there with no thought of how it came to be?

Or do we act like eagles, soaring high above the ground, searching for just the right opportunity? Do we also realize that we will fail most of the time, but we will go back into the sky to look again for the right opportunity?
