What are the rules of dispatching an injured deer without a license? Mine expired 2 days ago and I hesitated taking a young spike with a shattered front leg which allowed him enough time to find a low spot and slide under a barbed wire fence. I feel bad that the coyotes will probably have their way with him, but a fine int what I need at the moment. Yalls thoughts?

Wardens discretion, could possibly survive though have seen many deer survive leg injuries.

Report it to local GW, and let him tell you what to do.
If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.

Deer are pretty tough animals capable of surviving broken legs and gun/archery shots quite often. Like posted call the GW and explain it to him. If not buy a license and do it legally then.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

Usually have my license but this years been hard on the wallet and haven't thought about hunting deer much this year. It was a whim even seeing this guy on the place anyways...they have had it for 5 years and this was the second deer sighting. The yotes are very viscous and have already taken a calf a few months ago. Just thought is ask what others would have done. Thanks for thinkin I'm a spammer for a typo fellers.

You may dispatch an injured animal on your property or property that you have permission to do such things, but you cannot retain any portion of it.

Let me clarify...you may retain the deer if you're legally licensed and you tag the deer.

I agree with that statement but im pretty sure if you kill it, legally you are supposed to burn a tag. Unless given permission by a warden.
