Canadian_Shooter Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 ok i got a story here that sounds so ridiculous its hard to beleive but its the truth! ok so yesterday a few of my friends were driving around and they came across a wounded doe...appearantly it was missing one leg. they also said it ahd no problem getting up but it wouldnt leave the side of the road it would only stand up and move if you came close...thast not the strange part...so they call the cops a female officer shows up and asks what they should do about the hole thing and one of the guys i go to school with which i dont particularly like says well i have a doe tag....(the season is closed down here by the way) so she says ok she then takes out her shot gun from her police vehical and says whos gunna shoot it...so this guy with the "tag" he says he has, says ill shoot it so right there on the side of the road right there he shoots it!!!!!....not only is it illeagle to shoot it in the area the seasons over and im quite confident officers are not spose to hand over the guns to underage minors....i wouldnt beleive this story if it werent for my 2 other friends that were there and saw it....it kind of makes me mad because u see 3 legged deer in the woods living and if this one could carry itsself it probly would have survived and its not even the hunting season it jsut boggles my mind! i dont even know what to think. ok so now he says its leg was jsut badly broken to the point where it was bearly attached ill get a picture here really soon to show how close they acually got to it with it still alive...must have been hit by a car but the how it got there isnt the weird part to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitRmisS Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to beleive that doesnt seem quite right, it probally is due to a police officer not knowing the laws who should have called a local game officer to handle it instead of making her own solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was gullible to say the least. And I SURE wouldn't have handed MY gun over to some kid on the side of the road so he could use it. What a moron.

buckee Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe Actually, I believe this story. And it is perfectly legal if an officer of the law said it was OK to do so, and was present at the time. As far as handing the shotgun over to someone, I don't see anything wrong with that in that particular situation either. The officer obviously assessed the situation first before doing what she did. She probably just didn't have the heart to do it herself. I've gotten a few roadkills from police officers, without a tag. I just ask them to write me up a permission slip to have the deer and sign it, and it's perfectly legal. Better than letting it go to waste if it's a clean deer (which most aren't...YUK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whttlbucksteve Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe If they got that close it was not going to live or it would of ran off.They got the deer thats better then it wasting away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Shooter Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe so there aloud to shoot it right in the middle of the road...i jsut find it hard to beleive for my area because the cops are relaly up tight if they see a kid smoking they stop in the middle of a busy street chase him down and put it out ....i jsut dont see it happenenin around here...

I have a cop buddy of mine who calls me when theres a deer not so badly beat up and I come and pick it up done this many times .... perfectly legal here ... as far as giving the shotgun .... whats the big deal obviously it all worked out the deer was put outa her misery as far as I am concerned. chances are real good that the deer wouldnt have made it .... far more deer die loosing a leg then live after they loose a leg...

Canadian_Shooter Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe yea i spose the handing over the shot gun is a big deal to me because i know most of these cops personaly and they are really up tight...and my father is the supervisor at the hospital and they wont even let him take there gun from them when they get undressed for check ups he knows them really well and finds it hard to beleive...and not too long ago some one hit a deer and were not aloud to take the deer for them selfs...i spose its not so weird for some places but i guess u need to live here to understand why im so surprised and the kid she gave the gun too was 16 with no hunters saftey or firearms certificates he never took the courses its jsut strange for my area i never knew it would be diffrent in other places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to beleive I agree with Buckee and Steve. Why would you let a deer suffer? Your friend and the cop did the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to beleive I agree with buckee,bond and other. If the cops said it was ok then they should of better than it suffering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe I don't know about Canada, but the police dispatch deer all the time around here, in and out of season, that doesn't matter when a deer is in danger of causing an accident. The weird part is the officer handing over the gun. That's a huge no-no in my book. Then again, it might just be the maritime law officer in me coming back.

VtBowhunter Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe I agree with Buckee, too. ****Side note**** - Buckee, take a close look at that picture.......this is the only position a deer should be in when you approach it, LMAO.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe At least she had enough sence to put the injured deer down....as long a the officer was right there whats the diff???... id rather see it killed and utilyzed than suffer any day... Cudo's to the lady officer in my book!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe not to sound like an echoo but i Think Buckee is right. I dont know about her handing over her shotgun but perhaps she just could not kill an animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe the cop did the right thing. cops are trained to field judge people and situations, and i would not second guess her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_Goose Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe that deer was either a car accident waiting to happen or roadkill... as for handing over the shotgun.. i know quite a few people i wouldn't want holding a gun.

Canadian_Shooter Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe wow....sorry if im sending the wrong message here...i didnt mean it was wrong to put it down!...not wat i was saying that made sence it was the fact that the officer handed the gun over to the kid..idont want people to think of me in a bad way because of this i guess i didnt make it clear to what i thought was weird...sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe OH..geesh...no doubt it was weird. especially in town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe Sounds like a crazy story, but I have to agree with what buckee says. If the officer was present and she allowed them to do this, it was probably all legal and being the animal was put down humanely, the right thing was done in my opinion.

[/ QUOTE ] Yep, that's crazy. I once saw a LtJg almost get busted to Ensign again because he let a lady get "next to" his side arm. It was Lt. Funk's (swear to God that was his name), first boarding, and this lady wanted a picture of the boarding party, so this lady saddled up next to his .45, all smiles, making me and the rest of the boarding very nervous. The old man read him the riot act that night. I agree, law officer handing over a weapon is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Re: weird and very hard to believe Most of the cops where I live would have dispatched the deer with their sidearm in a heart beat and not thought twice about it. I can't see any officer in their right mind handing over their main weapon of protection. I believe it but would never recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
