I got 2 deer!!!

congrats!

 

RIP Deers.

 

I hunt deer with my car lol

 

You... killed... Bambi? **sniffle**

 

Funny, I always seem to have the problem of them hunting me in my car

 

Is that legal to shoot two?

 

Question-You said you were in the truck and you used the truck as a rest? I really really hope you didn't... That's just bad form, widely considered unethical hunting, and GROSSLY illegal here in Michigan (if you somehow get caught).

However, if you shot them legitimately, then congratulations!

 

Good for you!

 

:roflmao:
ROFLMAO.

Well, Congratulations Jerr... I guess.​

 

That was a great day for Jerr
Too abd you cant hunt deer here

 

My thoughts too. And "why?".

 

I have to assume that if there were two of them standing that close to the road, that there are plenty of them around. In some jurisdictions (sp?) without a hunt the deer population would get out of control and they'd starve to death rather than being shot and killed instantly.

It sounds like Jerr and his dad are pretty responsible about the whole thing.

Not that shooting and gutting a deer at the side of the road is my cup of tea... a dead deer would really mess up the interior of my Volvo wagon, and there's NO WAY I'd be strapping it to the hood of my Audi! Can you say 'city boy'? :roflmao:

 

I just don't get the "killing for sport" thing. I can't see how shooting something is a fun thing to do for thanksgiving.

City boy here too....

 

il PM u my addy so u can send me some meat hehe

 

What ever floats your goat... or ... urhm ... deer?

I hope no vegetarians/vegans find this =p

 

Congrats Jerr. Know the feeling.

As for not understanding the "sport", in many cases it is not considered a sport, but a way of living. I have dropped many a hammer on game, but it was with a feeling of using nature's bounty for use, as I do with fishing, berry picking, etc. There is a great deal of work to be done after the hammer falls, most significantly, butchering. That "city dwellers" have all that done for them and everything nicely wrapped, tends to remove them from the actual events of what goes on. Not much different to slaughter a cow as it is wild game, just that in one case it is done by a factory and the other is an individual effort.

As a follow up to what Jim said, in the US in the area I grew up in (upstate New York) in the immediate surrounding area there are well over 3 million deer (1995 figures) and growing. With such a population in such a small area, crops are destroyed and roads, especially at night are hazards. Also with the overpopulation, "wasting disease" is being seen, a condition where the animals appear to starve to death even with abundant food available. It appears to be a wild form of mad cow disease. Some management seems to be appropriate.

 

Awww poor deers ..

 

i don't agree with hunting. they already kill animals to eat for stores. yeah there may be over population but values wise i think going into an animals home and shooting it is very mean. yeah humans are being over populated yet we don't kill them. and they do okay. nature will work itself out just the way it should. man should mess with mans buisness and leave things that aren't under his control to nature.
