Police shoot deer for failing to get out of the way

[ThinClient]

I've talked to hunters from all over the country. I've watched dozens, hundreds of hunting shows on television that showcase hunters from all over the country. No one says they "caught a deer." Fish, yes they say, "I caught a fish." They say, "I shot a deer," "I got a deer," "I arrowed a deer," "I bagged a deer," "I tagged a deer." "Caught?" No.

But, prove me wrong. In this era of smartphones with cameras, etc., you should be able to take a picture of your hunting license (name crossed out, etc.) alongside a note that says "f you, DrPizza." Til then, all evidence points to you lying.

Yep, you are the center of the universe and if you can't imagine it or if you haven't experienced it, it must not exist.

How arrogant of you.

Every hunter I have ever met or hunted with. EVERYONE. Everyone says they caught things. Nobody uses any other word other than "shoot" or "missed" occasionally.

You can sit and spin for all I care. I know it's going to eat at you if I don't post a picture of my license so I'm not going to bother. You'd probably find some other reason to throw insults and disbelieve the facts in front of you anyway, so why should I bother making that effort?

 

[ThinClient]

shrug i won't get on him about that. I have heard other say they "caught" a deer when referring to shooting it.

No you haven't. DrPizza says that nobody says that, so you must be wrong.

Tehclient at what yardage did you shoot it? You may not know since you are far away that deer are very very dangerous when you are near them.

It wasn't far, maybe 50ft? Sumbitch ran off and made my lazy ass chase him down. :thumbsdown:

 

[Nintendesert]

Uh oh! ThinTard going full retard on us again.

 

[akahoovy]

Uh oh! ThinTard going full retard on us again.

Never go full retard. You'd be a deer.

 

[Drako]

Looked like they did the right thing to me.

Best to put the animal out if its misery.

 

[ThinClient]

Uh oh! ThinTard going full retard on us again.

Again? As in, this isn't the first time? Please link my other offenses. ()

Well fuck you, but I still think it was a stupid decision by the officer. You're arguing that a dear with a broken leg could go Bruce Lee on a dude. It's just stupid. A healthy deer with 3 other legs to stand on? Sure, I can see that, absolutely. I never denied it. A deer can survive a broken leg, but we're not talking about surviving a broken leg. We're talking about a deer going John Wu without falling on it's ass and flailing around struggling to get up. Hell, the deer wouldn't even move out of the way. Was probably in too much pain after being hit from the very injuries that you were alluding to.

Ok so now you agree that the deer was injured. Before, you wanted to kick the deer to get it to move along. Well that's already proven to be idiotic. Now we agree that the deer is injured. The solution to an injured deer is extermination. That's the way it is. If you want to put up some money to take it to an animal shelter and nurse it back to health, fine go ahead. It's not like we don't have about 5 million other deer out there.

Just like it's been proven that nobody uses the term "caught" when hunting deer, right? Yeah, proof. "Can be" I'd agree to but "all of them are in every situation" I don't.

Now we agree that the deer is injured.

Which I've never disputed, but okay...

The solution to an injured deer is extermination. That's the way it is.

Tell that to organizations that nurse them back to life and release them into the wild. I bet those organizations don't exist just like hunters who "catch" deer don't exist, right?

If you want to put up some money to take it to an animal shelter and nurse it back to health, fine go ahead. It's not like we don't have about 5 million other deer out there.

Irrelevant to the conversation at hand, but this is a good point.

 

[rudeguy]

Not to mention that up to now in my life, I've *never* heard a hunter say that they "caught" a deer. He's full of shit about shooting a deer with a bow.

LOL

I caught a deer once. It was a fawn, tried to raise it for a while until after about a month it wrecked EVERYTHING in the house and kicked my ass a few times.

Deer are mean little shits.

 

[ThinClient]

Nope, no you didn't. Show me your hunting license. You have 60 seconds. Go.

Pussy.

 

[jaha2000]

I looked it up.. 80 Places in MI are licensed to rehab animals. About half do mammals and it looks like 10 or so do deer, most of which specify fawns...
Again. They are a nuisance animal. You going to rehab a racoon that gets hit on the side of the road as well?

As somebody that has hunted most of my life and is friends with a large number of hunters, i have NEVER heard anybody say they caught a deer...

 

[ThinClient]

This argument has already been destroyed. I bet you've never heard Zulu spoken yet I'm sure you agree that there are people in the world who speak it.

 

[mugs]

He didn't shoot the deer because it wouldn't move out of his way, he shot it because its back leg was broken.

 

[DrPizza]

Okay, I'll admit that I'm wrong about "caught a deer" - even a google search shows that very rarely, people say "caught a deer" when they've killed a deer.

I still maintain you're full of shit about being a hunter - you've displayed far too much ignorance of the animal you have claimed to have hunted.

 

[ThinClient]

What you think really just doesn't matter.

 

[surfsatwerk]

A bear tried stealing my pic-a-nic basket... once.

 

[sourn]

I just hope somebody took it to eat it, no need to waste some good deer meat.

My dad's car caught part of a deer, but it didn't embed too far into the hood, so it was able to run away.
He also caught one as it bounded down an embankment, and smacked right into the rear passenger-side door.

:sneaky:



(In all, deer hits nearly totaled my mom's car, and caused at least 4 instances of damage to my dad's cars, totaling at least one of them. They're everywhere.)

I understand that not everyone has deer around them like we do. I understand looking at one and seeing Bambi and not wanting it to get hurt...I get it. But it wouldn't take that much Googling to figure out how nasty those little fuckers can be.

One of my favorite ones:
My brother in law and I were driving down a back country road. You know the kind, dirt road, trees on either side, a house every mile or so. A couple deer pop out and my brother in law doesn't swerve, doesn't hit the brakes, just drives like you are supposed to. These deer decide that because their first suicide attempt went bad, they are going to try again. They start running on either side of his truck for a good quarter mile. We were coming up to a curve and the deer didn't seem to want to take the curve. Finally had to nudge the one on the passenger over with the fender. Then they finally realized they would have to kamimaze a different vehicle and left.

 

[momeNt]

Up in areas that have a lot of deer, people generally say their vehicles last about 10 years or two deer, whichever comes first.

 

[mizzou]

I wonder what people would say if, when the horn was activated, the deer limped off into oncoming traffic and caused an accident with a school bus filled with children on their way from a school choir at a cancer hospital for refugee children.

 

[Rinaun]

Well fuck you, but I still think it was a stupid decision by the officer.

That's fine. You're entitled to your own opinion, and Pizza is entitled to his.

That being said, I agree with his statement about you having no idea what the fuck you are talking about. I have a hunting license as well: what does it prove? Any idiot can do a two-weekend class. My brother got his at 9. They passed him even though he failed horribly.

What impresses me more is how you said a wounded deer isn't dangerous; I laughed pretty hard. Did you think that through before you typed it out? I mean, its pretty common to see deers jumping insanely high. You didn't somehow think they could kill you like a horse could?

I don't know what his demanding to see my hunting license would have mattered, either. I'm glad you agree.

However, I never made the statement that a wounded dear isn't dangerous. It's not going to be kicking people and killing people and shit like some were stating. A full grown deer without a broken leg? Of course it's dangerous. It's a wild animal and it's huge. Duh. This thing was smaller than a man and wouldn't even move because it was injured. It's not going to pull a Jackie Chan. My argument provided for several alternatives and left the door open for options that weren't stated. Naturally, like what happens in most keyboard warrior arguments is that one side resorts to petty bullshit to avoid the major bullet points (haha see what I did there). Instead of being reasonable, it's OH BULLSHIT NOBODY SAYS THEY CAUGHT A DEER, YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS A LIE, EAT SHIT AND DIE ASSHOLE, AND ALSO YOU DIDN'T MENTION EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO SO EVERY SCENARIO YOU DIDN'T MENTION MUST THEREFORE NOT BE POSSIBLE BLAH BLAH BLAH. Tasers, a big ass stick, hell even a damn net, there are plenty of ways to get the dear to realize that it's being touched and get it moving in the direction you want it to move in a way that keeps the human out of melee reach of this mythical ninja flying deer kick. I've done similar things with a 10 foot pole when herding cows in for milking on the family farm. You think deers can kick? Have you ever SEEN a cow's hind leg? Screw your balls on and get the job done.

I want to see a deer with ONE hind leg functional jump a 6 or 8 foot fence and run away. LOL what a joke. Even if their ONE leg was strong enough to get them over the fence, they're going to fall the fuck over and struggle but what does that matter anyway? There's no fence in the video. I realize that it's a point about strength and yeah of course they're strong, but let's be realistic. These people are arguing pedantic points just to argue (maybe I'm doing that too, but it's fun and I like being rude to people who are rude to me). There are a million ways of going about getting the deer out of the way that I can think of and if my dumb ass can be that creative, why can't anyone else? Or, at least, not vilify me for making the fucking effort to find an alternative solution.

 

[Triumph]

Again, a deer with a broken leg needs to be put down. That's really all there is to it. The officer did it in quite an expeditious and efficient manner. They are vermin and their population needs to be kept in check. So why do you even want him to net the damn thing, or push it in some direction, or wait for animal control or whatever? Kill the stupid thing.
