injured deer

[DiveGerry]

Thank you so much for all the advice. Your words will be heeded, I just hope the PGA will handle it in an expedient manner.

Generally, when I hit em' they don't get back up.


Of course I'm usually a lttle slow to get back up myself


I did it once despite the law though. Our local response time was 48 minutes to a 911 hang up call, so I knew the thing would suffer for a long time. It was about 100 yards from my apartment so I took my G/F home, grabed a headlamp, a pistol, and a knife and headed out the door. "where are you going?" she asked. "to get meat."

I'm pretty sure it was dead as it didn't move when I poked it in the eye, but I put a .22 in it's brain to make sure and took out the backstraps, some chops, and a nice roast from the un-damaged side. I would've taken more but the rest was pretty jacked up. Poor thing.

I guess that makes me guilty of poaching if nothign else (way off the road, no ordinance against discharge) but I wasn't going to let her suffer or let her go to waste.

We ate good that night

I have hit two deer in my life time both dead on impact, but I would have a very hard time leaving a suffering animal on the side of the road. I am not sure I would be able to wait for the police. If it was possible I would attempt to use my knife to nuetralize the wounded deer. Let them try to prove he did not hit a sharp piece of metal from my bumper during the colision.
