I wonder why people get so bent out of shape over ONE SINGLE DEER? Buck, doe, fawn, spike, it doesn't matter. It's only a deer. There will be more next year and the year after that. It's not like he went out and shined a light in its eyes and killed it. I've done the same thing twice. I killed 2 bucks that were previously injured. I felt that I did the correct thing.

The problem was that I needed to kill a doe first in order to killa buck. I took the buck and would do it again. The problem was when I went to check it in. The people at the check station said that I would get fined if they checked it in. I told them that I would cross that bridge when it came. They checked it in and I called the game warden that next morning and explained the entire thing.

He wanted to see the deer, so he met me at the butcher and gave it a once-over. He said that I did the correct thing but next time keep it under my hat and not check it in,that it was more trouble than it was worth in filing reports etc....
