First deer of Firearm deer season '08

[DPD6030]

Ha, I didn't even make it into the woods this morning. I was on my way and about 5:35 AM I rounded the bend in the road and hit a 7 point buck with my mom's truck! The brand new GMC killed that deer dead. Since it was a buck and I hit it in the rear I kindly got a highway deer kill permit to take the meat and horns. Boys, there's gonna be chili, sausage, and burgers soon! Sad news for mom's truck though. Glad she wasn't upset about it but it did take out the passenger front headlamp, blinker and bumper. Who knows how much it will cost to repair but thank goodness for full coverage insurance! Just thought I'd share my "hunting" experiance without ever pulling the trigger.

Highway deer kill permit? Do all states have that?

Here's the PA hunting regulation on roadkill deer:

Roadkilled Deer/Possessing Wildlife: It is unlawful at any time topossess live wildlife, except foxes for which a permit has been issued,or animals, or parts of animals, killed on highways. Pennsylvaniaresidents may possess deer killed by a motor vehicle for personalconsumption only if they secure a permit number from the GameCommission within 24 hours after taking the deer; call the appropri-ate region office. It is not legal to kill “put it out of its misery” anyinjured wildlife; again, call the region office. It is unlawful to give thewhole or edible part of a deer killed on a highway to another person.Holders of a valid furtakers license may possess a furbearer killed ona highway, except for bobcats, fishers or river otters. Persons takingpossession of any furbearer killed on a highway during the closedseason for taking that furbearer shall within 24 hours contact any GameCommission region office to make notification of said possession.

Thanks. I've heard of people getting in trouble for taking the deer, but didn't know there was a way to make it legal.

Found out that the deer at recently switched to Geico and he saved big on his insurance. Too bad he didn't have death and dismemberment coverage though...

Congrats on the kill. Too bad on the GMC.

Don't forget the Deer Jerky....that's the best!!!
