Shiner!

Those that follow the adventures of Deep know that I have a suburban deer thing going on... A couple mornings ago in the wee hours I saw a spotlight shining through my window at about 4:AM... Looked thinking it was a cop but it wasn't... Just some guy spotlighting deer eating my shrubs...

Now I have a half dream of one day taking one of these hedge munchin overgrowed rats but want to do it in some kind of glorious off the wall way...
Bowing one up on rod and reel has crossed my mind. Reality sneaks in and I would imagine that I'd just wind up pulling the hook...
Going hand to hand has entered the picture. I did that in the swamp back in Florida with one I had cracked the skull of with a off target arrow hit. That one was small, very injured and I still see the hooves trying to lay me open. These Jersey ones come big and I have a sneaking suspicion that I could do some ER time after getting my ass whipped...
Then comes the samaurai option. I have a sword and I'm pretty good with it... Might be a player if I can get everything to come together just right.

Tonight it was comming together pretty good. I have a big four point that has been working close by, and tonight he was bed at the end of my driveway under an oak... Walking up he didn't bolt. Hell he didn't care that I was there. He's used to me...
I took three walks his way and he was still comfortable. I was ready to give it a go... I grabbed the ol trusty and started mapping out my stalk... Car comming... Set the sword down and wait... The bastard stops at the end of my driveway and spotlights the buck!

Our deer I guess don't read the instructions. He didn't freeze and instead bolted up the drive and past me. The clown in the car threw the light on me and I'm sure he could count the knuckles in my joints throwing the bird at him.
He took off only to light up more deer a half block over.

I'm not sure what his game is. I have heard no shots and seen no blood or drag marks... I have a hunch he's on the same quest as me to score some backyard backstrap without the theatrics but damnit I at least have the common decency to stay on my own lawn to attempt the dirty deed... Its my backyard backstrap shine guy!

Can't really call the cops as my intentions could raise a judges eyebrows... Not sure what to do...

Deep the Judge wont know what your intentions are, you were just trying to get a close up pic of the deer. Besides you have some weirdo shining a spotlight in peoples windows. You'd be doing your neighbors a community service.

The problem I have is if I make the call the local force would do probably two things... Step up patrols and probably stake out in one of the little dark spots on our street. Either of which woudn't be good for my plan...

I could see it now. "Drop the sword and back away from the deer..." Then I make local headlines in our sleepy little news papers and Peta starts picketing in front of my house and the neighbors get all pissy...

Nah... If I ever get er done nobody will ever know... At least not know until I have a big barbeque...

i wouldn't post the way you put the coup de gras on one of the backdoor deer. a few years back, here in Louisiana, a doctor had a great deer hunting place. he thought it would be cool to kill a dear with a spear, which he did. well louisiana has several different weapon seasons; archery, muzzel loader, modern. but you guessed it. no spear "season". he was ticketed for using an illegal method for harvesting a deer.
