Yes, I personally knew him.
Yes, he was a first responder and I saw him leave a number of times to respond to calls for first responders. Given the area we were in, some of these calls certainly would have been for cars hitting deer.
Yes, I saw the spear in the vehicle he took to those calls.
I do know from others in his family that he sometimes acquired a roadkill permit & brought back a deer carcass.
I do concede that this guy was fond of telling tall tales so he might have embellished a bit, but nothing seemed terribly implausible about this story to me at the time. As nothing of import hinges on its veracity, I think it's fine to categorize this under "quite probably true" and let it be. =)
