I think that happened more than we think back in the day. My Uncle was a lineman and would definitely watch for game while “out” working in the rural areas during hunting season.

Little story about hunting and company trucks.
Where my wife worked {PP&L} No guns, no ammo, no bow & arrows allowed on company property,
that included employees vehicles---along with tobacco products.

When I worked Ag-----One of the service men brings in his truck 89 SD 350, Bunch of work to do.
I took it out a drove it first so I knew how it drove before work. Replaced trans & clutch/flywheel,
radiator, hoses, power steering pump, front brakes, U-joints, front suspension. I noticed it turned
sharper one way not the other, removed steering gear, pitman arm--sector shaft had a twist in the
splines. One of the other service guys came in and I showed him the steering gear, {how do you
suppose that happened?} Oh so & so likes hunting-especially Coyotes, he ran that into a washout
chasing a coyote. Which told the story of the 243 ammo on dash.
*
Then that fall I decided to take a 5 day vacation to Oregon coast, hunting season. When I came
back there were three company 4x4 pickups setting in the lot with hunting damage. -------------
Two with cooked trans issues and one with front end damage.
*
After my chat with the general manager---all extra use of company trucks came to an end,
no firearms allowed in vehicles.:)

Some timber companies allow guns and bows in contractor vehicles, but you'd better drive out to the gate and walk back in before you shoot it like everyone else. Then I've heard tell of guys dropping an animal near the rigging and having it yarded out (on ground where that sort of thing was allowed, of course).
