Masher Blacktail

[Dmanmastertracker]

I would agree with you for 1/2 of it. The other half, for those of us who have lost loved ones in car accident's/ hit and runs our first priority would have been to either make sure the victim as OK, or if it was a hit and run, report it so that a drunk doesn't hit and kill a person around the next corner.

                        

(No comment necessary)  Honestly I don't know what to say to this. 

 Why is mandatory accident reporting so hard to understand?

[bobcat]

As far as I know the vehicle involved wasn't damaged at all. It was only a deer! Did you read a different story than what I read? Maybe I'm missing something?

[Dmanmastertracker]

  :rolleyes:WOW. I've never seen an uninjured car in a deer collision, and I've seen more than a few. Bobcat, if you carry insurance in the State of Washington, which you have to in order to drive, you are required by law to report it even if you hit a tree, or an inanimate object, let alone a living animal. You are also required to wait until an officer arrives, one most people don't follow I know, but it's still the law. This is my entire point. If an officer showed up and said yes, go ahead and dispatch the deer I'd have absolutely no problem with it, cripe.

Majestic blacktail. Appreciate it for what it is, and let it be.

[Boss .300 winmag]

So next time you hit a tweety bird please report it to the law and your insurance co.

[dscubame]

There is no law that requires anyone to report property damage to your insurance carrier.  PERIOD.

Damn, with all the saintly people on here I'm looking like a bad boy more and more everyday!!  I'm OK with it though, chicks dig the bad boys.

You need to take a Midol. Nothing that was described in the killing of this deer was in the wrong. To the contrary, I think it's commendable he took the initiative to go "borrow a 30-30"? I am still surprised that somebody would just lend out a rifle, but I'm glad they did. I think a lot of people would've just driven by. I think it's further commendable that he took his tag (I'll remind you most of us only get one per year) and used it on this deer so that it wouldn't go to waste, thereby ending his opportunity to hunt. I consider this something of a sacrifice, as I would MUCH RATHER hunt a deer, and shoot it in fair chase than use my tag on a dispatched deer at the roadside. In short, you're criticizing this guy, I'd buy him a beer.

Why is it that people have to be such arrogant asses? Why can't you just say nice buck and leave it at that? People come on here and complain about how the game wardens treat everyone like their guilty of being a poacher right off the bat and than turn around and do it to other members it's not needed. If you don’t know the whole story don't open your mouth and accuse someone of wrong doing if you don't know the facts behind the story! You are clearly just jealous and are better off keeping your mouth shut instead of trying to run people off of here      

[Bearhunter]

He borrowed the rifle from a friend that lived near by.  Dmastertracker you are wrong and should probably just be quite while your still ahead as all your accusations are incorrect.  The poor guy is not even a site member and is being ridiculed and judged.  By the way I hit a deer in my wides escalade an all that happened was a small paint chip.  Also hit a dog in it called the police and they were very annoyed about it, it was not required they told me.

[KopperBuck]

I put one completely over the right hood of a Sequoia a few years back - had to pick a few hairs off the grill, no damage whatsoever.

Oh and by the way - Great deer!

[coachcw]

Hit not hit , shot or just died , 10 feet or a hundred yards from the road . most of us would have done the same given the chance . I'm glad the deer didn't go to waste . If i saw that buck in the road I'd have a hard time hitting the brakes . GREAT BUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BTW if you were out hunting and saw a wounded deer some one else put a round into would you shoot him even though if he wasn't wounded he'd most likley be long gone HELL YES YOU WOULD. whats really the diff.

 My final comment's on this most uneducated thread I've ever read on this site. As one of the first few dozen folks on this site, every year I've noticed more and more "hunters" joining who only care about killing a big buck, regardless of circumstance, or ethics. I can't relate to you and frankly, people like you have made me ponder quitting hunting more than once. This site used to be a place where adult's could disagree reasonably.

Well, the other driver.. the deer, was KILLED! I wasn't there, don't know either of them, but I'll profile the deer and guess he was uninsured. Likely he was also.... unlicensed!

Don't ya get it? What you posted refers to collisions between vehicles, not deer! As Foghorn Leghorn would've aptly put it, "I keep pitchin' 'em, you keep missin' 'em!"
