HuntingInMaine Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Glad to hear you weren't hurt! I did the same thing with my mom's car a while ago....I think parents are more concerned with their children's safety then a vehicle that can be replaced!

Palssonater Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Finally, I got a deer, but it was with my truck [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The deer was laying in the middle of the road when I found him, very much alive. I didnt want it to suffer so I cut its throat to end its suffering. [/ QUOTE ] Not sure about the law here, but its been done many times. We can't get tags for it though. Any cop who would charge a guy for being humane should be fired. As hunters we have the knowlege to make a decision on such things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Finally, I got a deer, but it was with my truck Good thing there was not more damage and noone was hurt. They can do a lot of damage to a vehicle and cause some pretty serious wrecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Finally, I got a deer, but it was with my truck Ive tagged deer before. Your lucky it didn't do more damage. It can get REAL expensive quick. At least you were able to salvage some of the meat. [ QUOTE ] If we hit a deer around here in mass or new hampshire and cut the deer's throat to end it's suffering. We would have the cuffs slapped on us be arrested and get a hefty fine. You are lucky [/ QUOTE ] Are you kidding?! Wow, that would almost be expected around here (finish the animal off). I guess its a different world. Just about everyone I know hunts, including the game wardens, cops, etc. I was even going to shoot a hog for a Highway Patrol once. Man Im glad im from the south.

HuntingInMaine Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Re: Finally, I got a deer, but it was with my truck [ QUOTE ] I see nothing wrong with putting an animal down if it is hurt. If you do that here in mass or new hampshire look out [/ QUOTE ] Same goes for Maine. I had to wait almost an hour after I hit my deer for the cops to show up and shot it. I felt terrible that it was just laying in the ditch suffering, but I would have been in big trouble if I took matters into my own hands. Doesn't make sense, but maybe it stops poachers from shooting a deer or other animal and saying they had to put it down because they had hit it?
