Hobbling, trying to eat. Makes me sad. I am against poaching in general, but since our animal control is a bumbling operation that rarely shows up on time, and then screws up the whole works, I was thinking about a carefuly placed crossbow bolt to end her misery. What would you do? cheers, Rob _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 6:29 pm toadmyster223 Senior Member Joined: 20 Mar 2012 Posts: 501 Location: Fayette Nam, PA I'd say as long as you cleanly end the misery, and don't just waste all that tasty meat, it's honorable. At least get the tenderloins lol   Posted: Wed Apr 04, 2012 7:19 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Oh, I'd put 'er in the freezer for sure. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 9:07 am donec Senior Member Joined: 19 Dec 2009 Posts: 836 Location: central Texas Pflugerville area I'd try not to get caught.   Posted: Fri Apr 06, 2012 3:35 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA donec wrote: I'd try not to get caught. Yes. Not much chance of that. Neighbors would send a gift basket for every deer I got.

If it were WI or MN I wouldn't do it. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 9:56 pm radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA Slavia wrote: Check out the penalties so you can assess if the risk is worth it. If it were WI or MN I wouldn't do it. I'll just let it go. Sad to see though, but I don't want to be punished by the state for trying to do a kindness. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Mon Apr 09, 2012 10:12 pm Slavia Moderator Joined: 31 Mar 2008 Posts: 4382 Location: Waseca, Minnesota, USA Maybe instead of animal control you should contact the DNR.

(515) 281-5918 Thanks. I'll try that. Haven't seen the deer in a while, but my wife did a few days ago. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.   Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:59 am SMP Silver Status Member Joined: 04 Feb 2011 Posts: 1183 Location: Just south of "Out There"- Land O Lakes Ontario I would go that route. Here the MNR will almost always ask the landowner/reporting party if they want the venison if they have to do a humane kill. _________________ Sean   Posted: Tue Apr 10, 2012 10:59 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA I'll give 'em a call if I see that deer again. Thanks, guys.

Commission usually does everything they can to take the deer off of you if you report it. They'd say they were testing it for CWD if it was a newborn sparkling fawn. They also say we don't have mountain lion, and have completely ruined our white tail population by making deer season 2 weeks of buck AND doe. Like we said before, I'd try not to get caught. Period.   Posted: Sun Apr 15, 2012 12:12 pm robert w Senior Member Joined: 12 Feb 2012 Posts: 574 Location: usa in mo. you call gane comm. and they tell you kill it and give the meat to a childerns home or a retirement center . sometimes they take care of it ,specially if there is an officer close to you . most of the time they ok you to shoot it . when i had 1 like that i got the persons name and all credentials on the officer incase of troubles _________________ ,crosman 400,gamo big cat in .22, diana 5g,diana 54 air king, diana 34 in .22 diana 34 in .177, wilrauch hw-55,and a romainian pioner training rifle , and a huge collection of powder burners 35 last count . 1 would think i have a gun store   Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2012 6:26 am radar Silver Status Member Joined: 13 Nov 2011 Posts: 1138 Location: Des Moines, Iowa, USA robert w wrote: ...when i had 1 like that i got the persons name and all credentials on the officer incase of troubles Good idea. _________________ It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
