[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 622868, member: 84"] Sad that you had to see such a scene and sad that it needed to be done. ((hugs)) Yet, like Janet, I'd have asked for the deer (and would have been given it) so at least the meat would not have been wasted. Fred had to witness such a thing twice. He drove an hour on rural highway to work one way. He hit too many deer for my comfort. Because he knew to watch for them in the wee hours of the mornings he would not drive as fast as the speed limit through certain areas. Twice though, he didn't just graze the deer......and the sheriff had to come put them out of their misery. Both times the guy asked Fred if he'd like the meat, but being on his way to work taking it wasn't possible. Here there is a list of people willing to take the deer such as these and use them for food/hides. I do have to say though, that folks around here wouldn't be hitting so darn many deer if they'd cull them better via hunting seasons. I nearly hit a herd of them right smack in the middle of town one night on my way home from work! I have a herd that walks down the street as if they own the place and like to graze (unfortunately) in my front yard because they can't get to the back yard since I keep the gate locked. And Maggie, true to her shepard blood wants to herd them so darn bad she goes totally bonkers when they're outside. omg I nearly hit one in my own driveway for Pete's sake! Of course I'm also one who think geese need to return to being culled via hunting as well. Their populations are out of control in this area. [/QUOTE]
