We're the only ones unlicensed enough...

Maybe the deer was resisting arrest?

How DOES one mirandize a deer?

Don't have to unless it's in custody AND being questioned.

Jay G wins the slightly obscure but utterly appropriate pop-culture nod award. Hee.

Aim between the eyes, they tend to charge when wounded.

There is a culture that seems to think that the hunting license is only needed when the deer is shot. Currently, most states use hunting license fees for wildlife propogation programs, like re-introducing turkeys or elk into an area that they had declined from. (This has been wildly successful in Texas, where the Eastern Wild Turkey was all but extinct for a while.) And, yes, that hunting license also helps pay for that game warden. That game warden is the guy who enforces the seasons and limits, so that there will actually be some game for you to shoot. In some states, the funds buy more public lands for hunting on.

The last few years, I've not killed a single thing on my hunting license, yet I bought one, and this year bought one for my 10 year old, too. My daughter has learned for me the ethic that, unless we're in an emergency situation or the deer begin shooting back at us (same thing?), we'll follow the rules to the letter.

A fellow hunter-ed instructor, a specialist in the bow, is also an employee of the local RD diocese. His parish priest remarked that their large cemetery was being pawed up by urban deer, and would he mind doing something about that. So with an urban permit and written permission (one might say 'indulgence') my buddy donned camo and took to the field (about 30 ac., with an iron Addams-family fence around it). During the season.

It was the camo that did it. The neighbors just did not understand. Took a nuncio with cash bail to spring him from local police jail. With a letter from the bishop, the charges were dropped (since he wasn't doing anything illegal except for the 'weapon within the city limits' thing). There won't be any deer harvested in the catholic cemeteries hereabouts. The judge suggested they poison the deer instead.
