I saw one being dressed yesterday. The deer follow a treeline past the State Police post, across 5 lanes of highway and past the post office, going from corn field to oak forest. I'm glad to see them taken. Deer are a bad road hazard here, especially in town. We are over-run with the critters. They munch the county parks so bad that nothing will survive that isn't tall enough to be out of reach. They will munch your garden, your roses, and pull up your flowers to eat the bulbs. If the winter is bad, they will strip the bark off of your fruit trees.
They are really healthy, though. They spend all summer feeding on corn, beans and apples.

Many years ago when I lived in a St. Paul, MN suburb (Shoreview) I did my deer hunting inside the Freeway belt surrounding the twin cities.
What I found odd was that most of these urban townships allowed hunting with shotgun slugs but not with a bow.... I triple checked this with township attorneys and the game warden to be sure. One day I shot a plump yearling and as I was dressing it, a local police car cruised up. I expected a hassle but he just asked me to make sure it wasn't visible when I drove past nearby houses. The owners considered them pets. He said one lady fed them candy bars.... LZ

A lot of deer spend the day inside the cloverleaf on the freeways. They become thick with brush and there is almost no human traffic.
I see them everywhere. We have a wild riverside, but they wander the universities and hospital grounds. They will stand on the centerline on country roads and expect you to stop for them.
50,000 car/deer incidents in Michigan each year.
The good thing about deer season is that the fishing areas suddenly become deserted. Everyone departs for the woods. The fishing is still great and the lots are empty.

I used to live in cincinnati. You knew it was hunting season because the deer came out of the parks and grazed by the highway.
In wisconsin, I was going to work one morning and this humongous 10 point buck waltzes across in front of me. He stops and looks. "Yes sir, you go right ahead, don't mind me.".
My uncle is a deer hunter and he tags like around 12 every year. Dresses his own right in the barn.
How can you spot a "city boy" in hunting season? In wisconsin I'm driving my truck into town and get a good laugh. There's this nice big flat 5 acre ground totally open. I see like six people all standing around in plain view just waiting for that poor stupid deer to show up. While 20 deer go romping through the woods behind them.

One time I was driving down this one highway during hunting season and there's this nice big deer right beside a house. The lady was in front trying to get somebody's attention. "Hey guys! I got one right here."

One of the funniest sights I ever witnessed while hunting took place in southwest MN near a town named Kerkoven. I and my son had been pheasant hunting this huge swamp several times and the place was alive with deer. So we decided to hunt deer early and pheasants later (season on pheasant opened at 9 AM). I was standing next to the little Fiat puffing from dragging a good sized buck about a half mile when I heard a barrage of gunfire. The soil was dried peat and a puff of dust arose at every shot. The farmers were blasting away while the deer was way out of range and when it ran right past them their guns were empty. My son and I almost wet our pants. LZ
Near where I live is a 1000 acre park. Years ago, the deer were thick in it and there were many car struck deer accidents in the area. A friend of mine had a friend who was a local policeman. Every time a deer was struck, the cop would call Dave. The cop even filled out car struck deer tags with Dave's name address and telephone number and give then to other cops who worked in the area. Dave's freezer was always full of venison and he was always giving it away, he had so much. They started bow hunting in the park and have cut the herd way down so there are no longer near as many deer struck in the area.

Last Sunday I watched most of a deer hunt along the Yellowstone River in Montana from Oklahoma via web cam. The connection dropped out just before the shot and by the time I got connected again, got the camera pointed in the right direction and zoomed in they were field dressing the deer. A few days before I counted 39 mule deer in that hayfield.

They did not want Bambi running through the yards leaving a blood trail or collapsing in the yard with an arrow in it. What the anti hunters can't see they can't whine about.

On a deer hunting trip to MT with the boys, the ranch we normally hunted had been taken over by a camera crew from Sports Afield who were documenting the deer raiding the rancher's haystacks. He sent us over to a neighbor's place and the rancher said the Whitetails were in the wooded gullies and the mulies were out on the flats. We had 6 deer tags to fill and not a lot of time to fill them so I told the rancher we will take the mulies since they are dumber and can't count. Took us about an hour for us to fill our tags. Long range shooting and some belly-crawling through cacti but not really a difficult stalk. LZ

In Ohio, if you strike a deer and kill it, it's yours. Hunting season or not.

over here in england, if you hit a deer, or any other wild animal/bird, your not alowed to keep it,
BUT the next person that comes accross it is legaly allowed to take it, so you get to smash up your car hitting the damn deer, and the bloke following you gets free venison steaks.

Only a politician could come up with that stupid law.

Unless things have changed, in Germany you were obligated to inform police where the deer's carcass was when you hit one.
The police had the records of who owned the property and who had the hunting rights there. The deer would be hauled to a shop which dressed wild game and the deer credited to that person since he was the de facto owner.
Those who had a German hunting license were expected (as a matter of courtesy) to contact the police to learn the name of whomever had the hunting rights where the deer was hit. However the hunter was expected to dress the deer as soon as possible to maintain the highest possible quality. He was then expected to turn the deer over to the owner of the hunting rights. If he couldn't reach the owner, he was expected to drop the deer off at the game shop and pass on the owner's name. LZ

My wife just got back from Lansing, Michigan from a pool tournament and she commented on how many dead deer she saw along the highways there. They saw many deer just standing at the side of the road (waiting to die? :-) early in the morning.

On foggy mornings they stay in the fields late to feed. This often brings them into contact with morning rush hour traffic. Bowhunters and small game hunters keep them stirred up and active.

No. Many of those deer were assigned to do traffic pattern analysis for planned crossings, and just got too close to their work.

We summer in MT between Livingston and Gardiner along US-89 next to the Yellowstone River. We see lots of deer along US-89 both alive and dead. I ask the RV park owner if he knew how many deer were usually killed in that 52 mile stretch of highway. He told me that a few years back he knew a guy who worked that part of US-89 for the state DOT and he said 500-600 deer were killed most years.

Reminds me of the story of the woman who wrote the parks dept asking them to remove the deer crossing signs.

I think they are cute.....and also tasty. However older ones can be chewy so we usually brown them in a pan first after being dipped in flour, then bake them until tender. Cover them with a few strips of bacon, some onions and apple slices.
