RE: Just hit a deer
I hit one 2 years ago on my way to the hntn club. It didnt kill it it just broke both back legs. Luckily my friend had left his 7mag. inthe back seat. And just before i shot it some guy pulled up that was more redneck than me, and wanted to "take it off my hands". I said no, and the truck had scared the deer from the road. using just its front legs it crawled about 15 yards into the woods. I made the other guy hold the light and i finally got a clear shot. It was a clean shot, took out both lungs. I took it back to the club and we got what meat we could, but the rest was beat up. Oh! I was in my friends Izuzu Rodeo.

RE: Just hit a deer
7mm mag will do it especialy at 15 yards. It was dark and I had no gun. I basiacaly broke this one down like you did. I usualy have a good size knife with me so I stuck it in both lungs and it was done real quick. Like I said I would have taken the meat if I had the room for it. Guess the coyotes, foxes,and buzzards have to eat too.

well I got lucky her is a pic of the front of my jeep. Its lifted and pretty tall so the bumper took the hit and nocked him down and the tires rolled over his back half. I ended sticking my knife in both lungs (never cut ones throat and never will) to put it down for good. I've been known to stick an arrow in one that was hit. Had a police officer to tell me not to do that untill they arive...Guess I'll risk a ticket I won't let them suffer that long.

RE: Just hit a deer
I have never hit a deer and I hope I never do. That said, I just can't stand the idea of letting a whole bunch of free meat go to waste--even if that means giving it to the state and (hoping) they give it to the poor. Does anyone know the law in Washington state--could I just take it? I get the picture that when you hit a deer, you usually hit the hind quarter--which pretty much ruins that quarter and possibly the other. So that means you get the backstraps, the tenderloins (maybe)? You made a judgement call as to not having the space for the meat. Is there a % guess as to how much you lose of the gross weight?
