Nice rack!

It's not gun season yet, I don't think. This must have been shot with a bow?

This photo, by the way, was shot while driving. And NO, I wasn't looking through the viewfinder. I was watching the road as I should.(Project 365) ( 365 Moments)

	scottfeldstein says: You never know! But I think the way the rack is proudly displayed outside the truck bed says: "I shot this with me bow!" Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	eszter says: Yeah, I had a feeling my comment was a bit naive. It also doesn't look hurt in a way that might result from an accidental crash. Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	kingdufus says: This may sound disgusting, but one reason to get a deer license and the assoicated tags is roadkill. A hunting license gives you permission to legally kill (harvest or take in regulationese) certain animals under certain circumstances using certain methods. The license also gives you the legal right to possess the dead animal(s). (If you get pulled over with a couple of dead geese in your car trunk during goose season and you don't have a goose license you will go to jail.) In general there are tags associated with the license. For very small, fast-reproducing game like mourning doves there are no tags, but oversight of the limits. For game that is in flux--turkeys, waterfowl--there is a tagging and phone-in system. You are given a number of sticky tags that match the limit and you affix them to any kills. When you leave the hunting area you have a certain number of hours to call the game authorities to tell them what you have "taken." They do that because they have animal population estimates and they want to avoid Passenger pigeon duplicates. So here's the reason to get a deer license and the associated tags: If you happen on freshly roadkilled deer you can "take" it if you can tag and report it. You can't do that if you don't have the tags. (Of course getting the license makes no sense if you are not in an area with lots of deer roadkills.) Cleanly killed, fresh road killed deer are every bit as okay to eat as one shot by a hunter (assuming the digestive tract is unbroken). And venison is tasty. Sorry for the lecture. And Scott, another reason for the open tailgate was probably the effort to cool the carcass. Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	eszter says: Wow, that's all quite interesting, I had no idea. Thanks KD. On another note, this license plate would go perfectly on this truck (well, unless KD's story is more relevant here and it was road kill). Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
	kingdufus says: After my lecture I picked up a copy of the digest of Illinois hunting regulations because a friend and I are planning to go duck hunting and I found there a new roadkill regulations. Basically all you have to do is to keep a record of when and where the roadkill occurred until you have eaten all the meat. Posted 21 months ago. ( permalink )
