1) Breaking a deer's spine does not kill it...it only paralizes it down from the area where the spine is broken...

2) You have to abide by each states law...Like it or not...

3) About the dumbest thing you can do is try to dispatch a deer with a knife...Remember the post about the guy roping a deer, they are stronger than they look...

4) Even if you "carry" it's not good "press" for hunters to pull out a pistol and dispatch a deer on a busy highway, might get you in trouble and it just plain looks bad to the public...

Let the proper authorities take care of the situation, that's what we pay them for...
