Author Topic: Deer season ended today and finally nailed one! Damage Update (Read 922 times)

Not a huge hunter, but like the process. I've had a severe over population of deer at my cottage for the past 15 years and they reek havoc on the surrounding vegetation. So every November I take a few days on and off trying to bag one of the pests. So I hook up with a guy that lives nearby my cottage full time who is hard core and we take off on our ATVs. Past two years nothing. He blames me.

Although, any day in the winter (out of legal season) I can bag as many as I want, any day I want, as they are wandering all over in plain view.

So since the wife's Camry has a hitch and I didn't want to leave the ATV at the cottage on the last day I borrowed it and on the way back last night I finally nailed a good sized male.

Did you keep the meat to make sausage? Or was it a bag of bones at this point?

I waited for the OPP to attend and then I jumped in his Tahoe and we drove about 1km back down the road and found the b*gger in the ditch. Hopefully some resident animals get a good feast courtesy the Intact Insurance Company.

Funny, I made the decision to take the Digby-Saint John Ferry home from NS last night rather than drive around the bay after dark precisely for this reason.

Just be glad it was only a deer. With a moose you might not be here. $:-\$

Ugh, sorry to hear about this. At least no one was hurt, that's the main thing.

You have my sympathy. After hitting three in one year I have not come close since. Did pass a group of road killed buffalo on Saturday and shivered a bit.
