Pa Game Commission Cruel to deer

[Sled Puller]

Monday, Dad discovered a doe in a patch of woods between my house and the neighbors. Both back legs were broken.



So he called the game commission.



They immediatley made him a "suspect" and grilled him for quite some time on the how, what, where, bit.



My favorite, "How do YOU think its legs got broken?"



Gosh I don't know, maybe A CAR HIT IT. (does that ever happen?)



After all that, they said they didn't know when someone could get it.



As of tonight, it's still there.



Nice work fellas.

Let me get this straight. The deer is still there, alive, and suffering? Please tell me this is a joke or I am wrong. If it were me, I'd do the only decent thing and shoot the deer to prevent it from suffering further then if they give you and crap tell them they should have done their job. I'd also contact the local t. v. station. Someone NEEDS to get fired over this (as well as a severe arse whooping).

NOTE! This is a fictitious story! I would never do this! A few years ago I was driving through an unnamed state, somewhere west of Idaho. I saw a doe off the side of the road,down & flopping. I checked her out, broken back and cut up something fierce. So I gave her a 45ACP sedative. Went on my way till the next town & saw a State cop having his lunch. Told him where she was & that someone stopped & shot her. He informs me this not legal, and did I know who did so? Not me. Go figure. I guess it`s like Dad said--- No good deed goes unpunished.

This reminds me of an incident that happened in my area a few years back. Friend of mine and his buddy were on their way to shoot some hogs when they happened on a deer laying dead along the road freshly painted over. Penndot had been through painting the shoulder lines and did not see the need to move this dead deer. As I said, my buddy was out for hogs so he is no wimp but this po'd him. He came back, took a picture, called the newspaper who promptly ran the story. The crew involved was "reprimended" supposedly.



I agree, someone needs to shoot this deer but still call the news and say you don't know who shot it. The PA game commission sure does not need bad deer press at this time but this yahoo needs the boot up the backside.

 

[Sled Puller]

Just checked on it, still there, very alert.



I don't dare shoot it, too many new neighbors from the city, and especially since we reported it.



The Gestapo, oops, I mean the Game Commission would freak.

I would bet a lot of money, on court time.



Time to make a few calls... ... ...

The are probably just hoping that a 'natural' solution will take care of the deer - i. e. a pack of dogs or coyotes.

 

[Sled Puller]

Get this- they have no record of the report. I wonder if they have a record of the one I just made? Efficient outfit.



(YEP THEY DO, AS I WAS TYPING THIS, THE LOCAL OFFICER CALLED, HE IS ON HIS WAY, NO ONE NOTIFIED HIM. )



I bet if I called and said Jim Billy Bob is POACHING deer, they WOULD CALL IN AN AIR STRIKE.

 

[Sled Puller]

It has been taken care of.



When I explained the Monday conversation, he shook his head in disgust, and said, "I know who he was talking to. "



He apologized several times.



As he was loading the deer up, I noticed his bed side was bashed in.



Care to guess what caused that?

 

[Rebel_Horseman]

Glad to hear this issue has been taken care of. Hopefulyl the side was bashed in because they first guy you talked to got the ever living pi$$ beat out of him. If you can find out who it is, call some of the locals to go beat his arse.

A couple of Christmas Eve's ago my Dad nailed a doe with his Durango. Broke both her back legs. He came home and got me to go look and see if she was still alive. She was, and had crawled about 150 ft. out into the field away from the road. She wasn't very big, and her legs were broke, otherwise I would have put her down and kept the meat. We did the 'responsible' thing and called the sherriff (sp?). TWO HOURS later a female officer showed up. She didn't know what to do, I though they would have called the game commission or something. Apparently she decided she had something to prove, and was going to take care of it. It took the whole clip of her 9mm keep the doe from moving. She wouldn't get closer than about 30 ft. Had I known this massacre was going to take place, I would have taken care of the situation myself.

GENE, Did you ask him what was going to be done about it? Like the guy he knew whom you were talking too, is he gonna get anything out of it? The PA Game Commission is a joke. The kind of people that ask as they check you when you are in the woods dragging a deer if you have your empty shell casing and then fine you for littering ( if you didn't pick it up). Glad you got it taken care of Gene. Give em He!! Don

I would assume they get ya for littering a shot shell on your own land, right?
