Forest Lake deer shooting stirs outrage

As I said early if he would have not put a pretty ribbon around thier necks they would probably still be alive.

Why shoot pet deer without talking to the home owner first.

I could about imagine how well that would go.

"Morning sir im just going to go around back and shoot your familys pet/wild deer."

He handled it in a fine manner and did what had to be done, you can bet the home onwer will never do it again.

These miss guided people tried to save what they thought were two orphan deer only to have them shot by the police in their yard and before even being talked too.

But the police and the DNR didn't know who had put the collars on the deer. Who were they supposed to go talk to? They were just roaming free. They just happened to get shot in the yard of the person who did violate the law and collared a wild animal.

i think i'll put some ribbons around the flock of 62 turkeys on my property in hopes of the local law enforcement blasting the carp out them to thin them down, hopefully to extinction, them things are a nuisance.

It's too bad they had to shoot them seems like a waste, deer shouldn't have to die for nothing (did meat go to someone, I didn't catch it if it did or not) . I agree wild animals shouldn't be pets and collars were really stupid idea. But I'm sure they could relocate them easy enough, seems like they took easiest course of action. This is just more ammunition for the tree huggers to complain, they were presumed pets so put them in petting farm etc. Another poor choice by our DNR, what's new!

They didn't die for nothing. They died so people could see what happens if somebody trie to keep deer as pets.

That's intelligent...maybe ill shoot my neighbors dog if its barking to prove a point (yeah I know that would be illegal, killing something to prove a point isn't best choice ) point is its reckless to kill them like that, and it wont change anything. Just like I said before it will just give tree huggers exscuse to yell. And in my opinion DNR looks bad to average person or non hunter.

lol

don't analize so much jay... you said they died for nothing. I beg to differ... people learned from their mistakes,,, hopefully. :>)

[eyeguy 54]

FYI I'm laughing at the pic... not at you.

[jay83196]

Not analyzing at all, it's my opinion that its a waste and your wrong the masses for most part don't learn ( how many people bait illegally, still after we hear about, read about so many guys losing guns, hunting rights etc year after year, doesn't help) . Maybe this one guy does learn but in big picture does teaching one guy warrant killing two deer like this, I don't see how it does. I'm a big time hunter deer, bear, birds etc etc I'm not against killing things for sport, food etc just no point in this and the reason of CWD is ignorant if that's such a concern then ban recreational feeding, they say that such a factor in the spread but don't change the rule, and then do this ? Can't have it both ways, somebody screwed up...

[jay83196]

I didn't think you were, its all cool agree to disagree I just don't think it helps much I'm not mad or offended about it just don't think will serve much purpose in the end. Not many people put collars on critters I've never heard of until now, and like I said CWD aspect is so non issue considering the half a-- rules that send mix messages anyway. Feel like DNR uses that as crutch to enforce or justify decisions at time but don't invest the discipline in the cause.

Picture was funny
