I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean? Picking a vehicle struck deer up off the road isn't hunting, but many do it. Just because it's behind a house and following a doe isn't fair game? In that case, I may as well not go into the woods because they are all over the place behind me and bedding down across the street. You'd have to cover yourself in camo and be another 20ft in the woods before you'd shoot it? And then, you'd stalk up onto it, hiding behind trees, and shoot it just like it's sitting now?
Hate it, I'm in it to eat. If that deer didn't have antlers on it's head, it'd sure enough be in someone's freezer right now. Why does the size of the antlers make such a difference when it's all about the meat? And no I don't hunt "brown it's down," like I said I hunt to eat. Until the freezer is full as long as it's legal it's fair game, regardless of antlers or not. You can't eat doe tags or antlers, period.
