So great job find deer however . Did you tag it ? as you killed the deer . Unless I a missing something ?

Serious question, since you technically killed the deer with your pistol do you have to tag the deer since the hunter wasn't the one who actually did the deed? I have always wondered what law is on baying up a deer with just a leg wound or something else that isn't necessarily a fatal hit.

Y'all don't be bringing legality into this story

[Dusty Britches]

Awesome! Way to go!

Courtney will chime in on the legality and it will be along the lines of - a tracker with a tracking dog can legally dispatch a wounded deer for the hunter. The hunter shall use their own tag on the deer.

Believe this cause it is true.

No. Under Texas law, I am legally allowed to put down this deer.

Sec. 61.060. DEFENSE TO PROSECUTION: HUMANE DISPATCH OF CERTAIN GAME ANIMALS AND BIRDS. (a) In this section:

(1) "Dispatch" means to kill by any humane method.

(2) "Game animal" has the meaning assigned by Section 63.001.

(3) "Game bird" has the meaning assigned by Section 64.001.

(b) It is a defense to prosecution for a violation of this chapter or of a regulation adopted or proclamation issued under the authority of this chapter by the commission that the actor dispatched a game animal or game bird that:

(1) was mortally wounded, not through the actor's conduct; or

(2) behaved in a manner that:

(A) is inconsistent with the manner in which a game animal or game bird that is not diseased typically behaves; and

(B) leads a reasonable person to believe that the game animal or game bird poses a substantial risk of serious harm to itself, a person, or other wildlife.

(c) The commission may adopt rules, including rules concerning the disposition of a game animal or a game bird that has been dispatched under this section, to implement this section.
