so u guys would be ok if the guy goes on the other side of the ditch and shot it if its not posted?

Let's see: Broad daylight, eye witnesss, vehicle description, license plate number, description of the perp, description of the deer, etc, etc. No call to DEC?? Am I the only one doubting this story. Yup:hit::hit:, as stated earlier, more than just a little part of the problem.

Ethics is nothing more than your personal beliefs. If you don't want to shoot from a road then don't but if someone else shoots from a road and isn't breaking any laws then let that person be.

I don't know the NY laws and I am not going to look them up but my reasoning is completely sound and legal depending on where you are hunting and what road or type of road you are on. Sometimes I climb a tree sitting right on a dirt road. Shot a buck last year right smack in the middle of a dirt road from 30 feet up in a tree. Regardless if I am walking, driving or sitting... if the deer is there and I am not violating any laws that deer is getting shot. Here in Florida you can shoot from a vehicle or boat so long as all vehicle/boat movement from the motor and/or sail has stopped and the motors are turned off. Certain roads you can not shoot from but certain roads you can.

What I get with your reasoning is that suppose you took a trip to Alaska to hunt caribou and a heard of caribou happen to walk a couple hundred yards from the front door of camp you would pass and walk miles in instead of taking a shot in your undies so you could feel like a "master hunter"? I'm gonna shoot from the front porch in my undies.


Same thing.... could be perfectly legal depending on where you live.

exactly! what difference do you think it makes to the deer anyway, how far away from the car youre standing, when you send a speeding chunk of lead through its body? why does everyone have to act like hunting has to be "hard" to be ethical. Personally I dont care how people kill their deer, just as long as they wait till the season opens and take only what they have tags for.

If I was talking about the people who did it legally I wouldn't have posted it.

holy cr** guys i said i was sorry i didnt call....why do people get murdered and people hear the gun shot yet nobody calls....cause people thi.k someone else will do it..was i his property idk i didnt get out to talk he was in jeans thats why i dont think so...thought this wa s a website to tell about huntin and interact i didnt no it was a website to rip on the thread poster..i said i was sorry i didnt call i cant change it now..my dad was drivig the car and he didnt turn back we just kept going. so how bout everyone takes a chill pill

If I saw a big buck from the road on state property or land I had permission to hunt on, you better believe Im gonna get out and try a shot from OFF the road. If that deer wants to just stand there, its his fault. Its perfectly legal if youre off the road and its land that youre allowed to hunt here in Indiana. Its illegal to shoot from a road. Thats how the DNR gets people with their decoys. They cant get them for poaching simply because their decoys arent real. All they can get them for is shooting from the road. If you have the opportunity to take a huge buck LEGALLY, why not do it? I would.

I'd do it if its legal. Deer arent religious icons. I dont worship deer like hindus worship cows. I show them deer enough damn respect as it is. Let the babies walk, admire the mothers, watch small bucks and let them just keep walking. Try and help them get better nutrition and all that good stuff. And I dont attend the Church of the Deer. Some people are just odd. Deer worshipers. lol.

Just my 2 cents. Not yours :)
