Another thing to consider. I wonder if the original owner of the deer is going to fight for posession of it since it was his, it was tagged, andset freeby the hurricane?

Shot one last year too.
I think there is a book deal for you Atlas "How to shoot the little one's"
The way I look at it is you have to more accurate to hit those little buggers..........anyone can hit the vitals on those big ones.......too easy

Why??

From the looks of the board the last couple years you might wanna take a fawn or two just to get the dust off your bow
Dust is off dude............

Twice this year...............and it ain't over yet

You go on and on about how wrong it is to have fenced in deer that get harvested by paid hunts, which I dont agree with myself, and wouldnt pay to do it either, but you are feeding deer in your yard illegally in NY and seem to overlook that point
What does one have to do with the other???


plus you are changing deers natural inate feeding habits
Would you like to pay my landscaping bill every year?? If so please feel free to send me your address and will forward the charges on to you. Seriously I wouldn't mind.........they have done on average about $300-$500 damage a year. What I do is done to keep the damage to my yard at a minimum........if you can call that much money a minimum.


and, you said they are in your yard watching you while you shoot your bowwhich seems to me that you are makingwild deermore tame or feel safe around humans and ruining their so called natural inate defense more than anything else.
Why does it matter???.......these deer can't be hunted. The only thing that can hurt them is a car........would you like me to stop driving so they don't get hurt??? How about I don't mow my lawn either because they stand there and watch me ride a John DEERE mower..........OH THE HORROR!!!


But it is okay to go somewhere else and kill deer which is fine as long as they arent deer that are coming into your yard and being fed by you?
Yes.......I do it all the time.



You say you are helping the animals survive in an area that you said naturally cant support the popualtion with little habitat and sprawl in/around your property.
Nothing natural about sprawl.



Seems kind of stupid not to take advantage of harvesting deer that are on your property when you know which ones would be good to harvestwhen you know their feeding habits, bedding habits and to get the population down to where it would survive naturally. Thats sad, or idiotic.
Do you even read these threads???..........these deer cannot be hunted. Hunting is not legal where I live. Even if it were I would not shoot these pets..........it would be about as much a challenge as shooting a neighbors dog.


What I just quoted and posted in the paragraph aboveto me is a hypocrit.
Like I said........you don't know what the word means then.


so you would ratherthe deer possibly starve a horrible death because he hasnt lived and fed in the wild before especially in winter when food is scarce??
Reminds me of South Park.........."If we don't kill them.......They might die"


Has nothing to do with being a hunter or feeling proud for killing cows.
Sure it does..........walking up to a cow and killing it is about as challenging as killing this deer or the ones in my yard would be. One you equate to good hunting skills and the other you don't???


I have chickens I show that I am proud of, kids and adults enjoy the birds that I bring to fairs and 4H events, brown leghorns, and red and silver dorkings that I dont kill, I get eggs from them and enjoy raising and breeding them as do children that come to see the birds, collect eggs and help take care of them.
So if any of those birds escaped it would be OK for your neghbors to blow their heads off because they are now free ranging chickens that should be killed for food right??


The person didnt know it was previously caged so how is this a comparison on shooting cages pets?
I never said he did know...........he knows now.......and I can't imagine being too excited over finding out the big buck you just dropped was nothing more then a household pet that got out through a downed fence. Never said he did anything wrong........I just think it would suck to find out you shot a tame animal when you thought you killed a wild one.

on Louisiana Sportsman website, people are giving him a hard time about killing the deer.

This makes me think there is more to this story that we haven't been told.

I was looking for opinions on the subject and I thank all of you guys for responding.

The guy lives in my hometown. He's an ethical hunter and a upstanding member of the Parish. Don't you think if there would be more to the story that he would have probably taken the tag off from the beggining?

This is a great site as for as learning different things from different hunters but what's most disappointing to me is that the minute someone posts a picture of a fairly nice deer, suspisions and accusations are immediately thrown in response - just sounds like jealousy to me.


I would be proud of that deer if I killed it - tagged or not.

Hell, the meat probably taste better...

I have no idea..........you can't possibly be surprised that a picture of a deer with a petting zoo tag in it's ear would raise some eyebrows.

Posting a thread of these contents and then asking for people's opinions on the subject leaves the door open...........you can't have it both ways. Don't post threads asking for opinions if you are gonna get your feathers ruffled by the ones that don't agree with you. No one is attacking anyone personally and their is no name calling or cursing or any nasty remarks. Just opinions...........which is exactly what you asked for.


I would be proud of that deer if I killed it - tagged or not.
And I can't possibly see how anyone could be proud of shooting a tame animal that grew up in a cage. We just have different opinions.........doesn't make either one right or wrong......just different.
