Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
That's just it, we live in the sticks (with the same GC). The 'rules' appear to be different the farther east you go in PA. Just another reason to stay on my own side of the mountains, yeah?
In Reading or Scranton, they probably have a far more anal-retentive GC (and definitely more anal-retentive cops), so they have to be far more concerned with losing their LTCFs than we do here in the far more civilized west..."When I hit it, I expect it to fall the hell down and die!"

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
If anyone is familiar with the bridge linking NJ to Portland, PA up in Northampton county by Bangor, one time about a decade ago i was driving home on it and this deer was on the bridge. It saw me coming and panicked, and climbed up and over the concrete wall, and jumped. To its death, 2 stories below onto a road underneath. It was horrible,because it didnt die right away. I was in shock and stopped the car and ran out to look over,and the thing was on the road below, badly injured, kicking its one leg. I told the toll booth operator about it and went home. Awful

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
Call it in to the PGC, or the local PD, they will tell you what to do. Don't risk your freedoms over it, it sucks to see, but you've got to take care of #1. Some of the WCO's are pretty cool and will tell you to handle it, and back you that they did. They don't want to respond to every hit deer, they'd never sleep.

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
I'd swear and yell at it a lot after calling the game commission. But I swear and yell at things a lot regardless.

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
I would also like to bring up the possibility that many of our members live in an area where they would have to call someone to deal with a rabid animal.
While here in Crawford County the concensus between the Humane Society, the Game Warden, the Fish and Game Commission, and eventually the local police (they called me after the fact to ensure the situation had been dealt with) was that since I had a gun "on the scene" I was more than welcome to take care of the rabid animal rather than waiting for someone else to show up."When I hit it, I expect it to fall the hell down and die!"

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
Sadly I would let the Game Commission handle it. I'm not risking my rights over an animal. I don't like it though.

Re: What would you do if you hit a deer?
I had a friend that hit a deer in his truck he had just picked up from spending $4k on a custom paint job, he was that pissed he backed up to where the dear was and finished the dear off with the heal of his boot.
