if they needed the meat that bad they should have been better off taking the whole deer. then we would not have these pictures...

did yall notice this happened in East Texas

Glad someone went there!!! East Tx Outfitters, where its never to dark to shoot and the season never ends.

[trophyhunter01]

call it in maybe TPWD will set the decoy out for them.

[Low Fence]

Thats why we need to high fence east texas j/k. As an East Texas native I'm also glad to see that if they were going to take something (which is illegal) it was the meat and not the antlers.
What part or E.tx was this in?

[hoofdr23]

why waste good meat-as long as its an accident

X2

[RobinBradbery]

Wow that just sucks! How horrible. I can't believe some people would do a thing like this. I mean, leaving perfectly good antlers just laying around! What is this world coming to?

[tx07]

I never understood that law. The animal is going to waste.
" you can't pick a deer up you hit with a car"
Do they really think people will hit them on purpose?

[Pablo Honey]

when i lived in beorne i would see a dead deer on the side of the road daily. i can't tell you how many poor mexican laboers working out there i've seen pick them up to feed their familes.

Why didn't you cut the antlers off?

[flufster]

my brother was given a doe last year from a GW to a fireman to my brother kinda deal...bout the only thing salvageable was the backstraps....everything else was already hamburger


i know it is illegal but maybe these folks called it in and the GW said it was ok to salvage what they could....doubt anyone took out their car for a foot of prime backstrap

[topherstrux]

I think I saw Bear Grills on the side of the road taking that chunk off the deer. Or was it Survivor Man...lol

I don't care if it is wrong, that's funny!

[Tmag]

oh come on.... next you're going to say that people in east texas shoot deer after legal shooting hours

Have you been hanging around the golf course at night or something?

[Mayhem]

Why didn't you cut the antlers off?

actually crossed my mind johnny, but when i picked up his head he had already dropped one side, so i guess he was technically a 4 point. guess it could have made a cool euro mount.

[Ron]

I'm glad it wasn't wasted! I don't really understand that law and I have never lived in E TX.LOL

[q2xlman]

I guess I'm a good East Texan because I hate to see the meat go to waste! They should have gotten the whole thing! I don't because I know it's against the law, but it shouldn't be.

[Texastaxi]

If they're willing to risk the law, by taking meat, because they're hungry ... why not take the whole deer and have more than 2 meals?

I doubt this was a "hunter" but it still sheds a negative light on us through the eyes of an anti!
