I just had a profound thought

[Alpo]

I was reading a thread on another board about roadkill. It reminded me of how several years ago I wrote to fish and game for Florida and for Alabama and for Georgia, about the legalities of roadkill, and putting down a hit deer.

 

Florida told me that shooting a deer that has been hit by a car is perfectly legal, as long as it's deer season and I had a license.

 

Georgia told me that there was no way in hell that I could legally shoot an injured deer. I needed to call the cops and let them handle it. Yeah, leave the little sucker in pain, but if I shoot it it best be legal hunting season and I best have an out-of-state hunting license unless I wanted to go visit the gray-bar hotel.

 

Alabama said it was perfectly fine. Said just call it in. Usually they wouldn't even send out a deputy, unless somebody needed a tow or somebody was hurt and needed an ambulance.

 

They said I could have the meat too. And thus my profound thought of the morning.

 

Have butcher equipment in the truck.

 

Harbor Freight sells a little tarp - maybe 6x8 - for about $3. Get a couple of them. Couple or three pair of nitrile gloves. Box of baby wipes. Roll of paper towels. A box of gallon size Ziploc bags. Something along the lines of an Old Hickory slicer.

And most importantly, a butcher steel. Every four or five slices hit that steel couple or three strokes. Keep that blade sharp.

That all packaged together would not take up a lot of room, but if you ever do hit something and you need to work on it at the side of the road, that would be very handy.

Don't forget the duct tape, shovel, and ski mask.

Just don't let it die of loneliness. Your profound thought.........not the deer.

Was that a "profound thought" or a "profane thought".   Just asking.

"I just had a profound thought"

 

I seriously doubt that

Harsh, Mark. Really harsh.

I take advantage of the fact that you are "a peaceable man"

 

and I've seen you shoot

That was 21 years ago. I may have improved.
