Was the road a paved and/or maintained road or a country dirt road?
What are the laws concerning shooting from a road in your state?
I don't know the facts about this guy and this buck but sometimes people just get lucky. If I were walking to a stand or driving down an unmaintained road and saw a bruiser standing there looking at me I would shoot too.

Your reasoning is complete bs. It makes no difference what kind of road you are on. It isn't whether it is legal to shot from the road it is an ethical thing. I know I would feel like a master hunter if I done that. And if you didn't have permission you would be tresspassing if it wasn't public land.
When I see a large buck in a feild driving to my stand to hunt I will stop admirer him and hope he makes it my way. But there is no way in hell legal or not I am shooting from the road or just off.
The only except to this would be a disabled person with a release from a DR and appoved my the state allowing him to hunt from his truck. I don't mean it ok if the said person drives around until he sees one to shot. The person should be hunting on ground he has permission to hunt and using his vechile as a stand not driving around the property.

Last year while driving down the highway, a beat up old car made a u turn in front of me heading back in my same direction. He flew off the highway probably going 40 mph, down an embankment and into the ditch. Just ahead of where he was stopping there were two does beside the highway. I blew my horn and they ran into the bushes. In my rearview I could see the man getting out of his car, but he was too late. As steep as the embankment was he probably had a hard time driving out of the ditch.

You should hear the stories I have heard about guys who have hunted with the indians up here. They go out at night in a pickup. A driver, passenger with a spotlight and a guys in the bed with rifles. Shine em and shoot em.
Even thinking about it makes me angry. If I ever saw somebody poach off a road I would have pulled over, called the police, the wardens and anybody else who would answer the phone.
That's no better than the people who shoot deer in their backyards in residential areas. They think they can get away with it because they use a bow.
