Use of deadly force question

[Monky]

you could also rip the back side of your pants and tell them the bull was mounting you?

Not so sure he'd try to resist being mounted.. he has an aversion to cows but not to bulls I'd guess.

Forgot to mention the Elk was overweight and had crappy taste in music.

Lol

That's partly what I'm wondering- I know you can keep the meat if you hit it with your car (on accident)... but if you are defending yourself can you keep it? I guess these are things I can pose to DOW.

what you know is wrong.

you don't get the meat without a hunting tag and hunting it properly . don't try it. ask the assistant head of wy dow. he got nailed for killing it with a car and then using his deer tag...

I don't think you get to keep meat or anything if you hit an animal with your vehicle. now if you don't say anything and throw it in the bed of your pickup and get away with it, then I guess you get to keep it...but you also risk being called a poacher, getting fined etc.

Not true- we've done it on a few occasions, called DOW after finding an elk dead from elk vs car on the road, asked if we can take the carcass, they were happy to allow it... less work for them!

Tell your worthless secretary to shoot it since her music lured the elk near your BMW

Thank you all!

This thread was almost as funny as an episode of South Park.

Now where is the video of the road kill deer that was only stunned and awoke inside the motorists vehicle.

Make sure you kill it; don't want it testifying against you in court.

[buffalobo]

All you gotta do is convince DOW that you had no choice but to shoot him.

If DOW thinks the story and circumstances are legit they will not hold you responsible and in many cases allow you to take the carcass.

If you can articulate your fear that life will be lost you can kill it. Keep in mind, most sidearms that are CCW type may have difficulty producing death on an Elk. At least before the Elk really gets pissed off. In the scenario you presented I think driving away is the best option. Let your insurance person deal with it.

Why do I open these threads ?
