Mystro you did the right thing, and a good job of keeping your cool with an idiot on top of that! You can't really reason with these idiots, the best you can do is keep your cool and they look like the idiots they are! Coastie, I agree with your statement too! There is "the right thing to do," sometimes it isn't the "legal" thing to do. I don't think that we should just break laws if we don't agree with them, but when it comes to the "moral" or "ethical" thing to do in a situation were an animal is suffering needlessly, I feel more than justified to put the animal out of its misery.
Also, TX is pretty much right, here in Texas not too many officers would have questioned what Mystro did, and if one were fool enough to press the issue, there would not be many judges that would have found him guilty either!

Nothing could be done except what you did, with the exception of shooting the bitch also.

i agree with everyone else by saying that you did the right thing!so did you bring that deer home with you?I always have a knife, or a gun with me just for that reason.Id rather put it out of its missery and get yelled at a million times than let one suffer in the middle of the road

Without a doubt in my mind you did the right thing. I am 20 years old and am an EMT for our city. On one of my first calls out on the interstate person was riding a motorcycle didn't see deer in the middle of road hit the deer. Deer vs. motorcyle, motorcycle vs. semi. Now what if that happend in front of that lady, how would you explain something that graphic to your kids. I bet she wouldn't be saying a damn thing then. You did a great job.

Nothing you can do about the stupid woman. I've put down one deer this year. Have stopped in the moddle of the night before to put down another wounded animal. I wouldn't do it if I was too near a city but further out in the country like I wouldn't hesitate. And if the lady wasn't gawking at the wounded deer she wouldn't have been upset at what she saw. Forget her.

She continued to swear at me in front of her kids and I then took control of the situation and told her to keep moving and get out of hear. She swore at my wife as well as she drove away and my wife was calm and told her to keep moving.

You did the right thing. I applaud you for keeping your cool with the psycho mom too.
